羅納德·里根大廈暨國際貿(mào)易中心

2010年4月26日

THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much.Everybody, please have a seat.Good evening, everyone, and welcome to Washington.總統(tǒng)：非常感謝。大家請就坐。各位晚上好，歡迎光臨華盛頓。

In my life, and as President, I have had the great pleasure of visiting many of your countries, and I've always been grateful for the warmth and the hospitality that you and your fellow citizens have shown me.And tonight, I appreciate the opportunity to return the hospitality.在我這一生中以及擔(dān)任總統(tǒng)期間，我有幸訪問過你們所代表的許多國家，對于你們和你們的同胞對我的熱烈歡迎和款待，我感激至深。今晚，我很高興能有機(jī)會回報你們的熱情接待。

For many of you, I know this is the first time visiting our country.So let me say, on behalf of the American people, welcome to the United States of America.(Applause.)據(jù)我所知，你們中間有許多人是第一次訪問我們的國家。因此，我謹(jǐn)在此代表美國人民說一聲：歡迎光臨美利堅合眾國。（掌聲）

It is an extraordinary privilege to welcome you to this Presidential Summit on Entrepreneurship.This has been a coordinated effort across my administration, and I want to thank all the hardworking folks and leaders at all the departments and agencies who made it possible, and who are here tonight.能夠在這次總統(tǒng)倡導(dǎo)的創(chuàng)業(yè)峰會上向各位表示歡迎，我深感榮幸。這次會議是本屆美國政府各部門共同努力的結(jié)果，我希望向所有那些為這次大會的成功而勤奮工作的人們以及各部門的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人表示感謝，他們今晚也在坐。

That includes our United States Trade Representative, Ambassador Ron Kirk.Where's Ron? There he is.(Applause.)I especially want to thank the two departments and leaders who took the lead on this summit--Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.Please give them a big round of applause.(Applause.)他們中間有美國貿(mào)易代表羅恩·柯克（Ron Kirk）。羅恩在哪里？他在那里。（掌聲）我特別要感謝牽頭組織這次峰會的兩個部門及其領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人——商務(wù)部長駱家輝（Gary Locke）和國務(wù)卿希拉里·克林頓（Hillary Clinton）。請大家向他們熱烈致謝。（掌聲）

We're joined by members of Congress who work every day to help their constituents realize the American Dream, and whose life stories reflect the diversity and equal opportunity that we cherish as Americans: Nydia Velazquez, who is also, by the way, the chairwoman of our Small Business Committee in the House of Representatives.(Applause.)Keith Ellison is here.(Applause.)And Andre Carson is here.(Applause.)今晚在坐的還有我們的國會議員，他們每天都在努力幫助自己的選民實現(xiàn)美國夢，他們的個人經(jīng)歷也反映了我們作為美國人所珍視的多元化和平等機(jī)會：妮蒂亞·維樂貴斯（Nydia M.Velazquez），順帶提一下，她也是眾議院小企業(yè)委員會主席。（掌聲）基思·埃利森(Keith Ellison)在這里。（掌聲）安德烈·卡森（Andre Carson）也在這里。（掌聲）。

Most of all, I want to thank all of you for being part of this historic event.You've traveled from across the United States and nearly 60 countries, from Latin America to Africa, Europe to Central Asia, from the Middle East to Southeast Asia.最重要的是，我要感謝你們大家參加這個歷史性的盛會。你們來自美國各地以及世界上近60個國家，從拉丁美洲到非洲、從歐洲到中亞、從中東到東南亞。And you bring with you the rich tapestry of the world's great traditions and great cultures.You carry within you the beauty of different colors and creeds, races and religions.You're visionaries who pioneered new industries and young entrepreneurs looking to build a business or a community.你們帶來了世界各地豐富多彩的偉大傳統(tǒng)和偉大文化。從你們的身上可以看到不同的膚色和信仰、不同的種族和宗教，這一切都是那樣美好。你們中間有開創(chuàng)新行業(yè)的遠(yuǎn)見卓識之士，也有積極創(chuàng)業(yè)或獻(xiàn)身于社區(qū)建設(shè)的青年企業(yè)家。But we've come together today because of what we share--a belief that we are all bound together by certain common aspirations.To live with dignity.To get an education.To live healthy lives.Maybe to start a business, without having to pay a bribe to anybody.To speak freely and have a say in how we are governed.To live in peace and security and to give our children a better future.然而，我們今天在此聚會是為了一個共同的信念——相信共同的理想使我們息息相關(guān)。有尊嚴(yán)地生活。受教育。保持身體健康?；蛟S創(chuàng)立一家企業(yè)，而無須賄賂任何人。能夠暢所欲言，并且對政府運(yùn)作的方式享有發(fā)言權(quán)。生活在和平與安全之中，并給我們的后代一個更好的未來。

But we're also here because we know that over the years, despite all we have in common, the United States and Muslim communities around the world too often fell victim to mutual mistrust.但是，我們今天在此聚會也是因為我們知道，盡管我們有如此之多的共同之處，多年來美國和世界各地的穆斯林社區(qū)經(jīng)常由于缺乏互信而遭遇不幸。

And that's why I went to Cairo nearly one year ago and called for a new beginning between the United States and Muslim communities--a new beginning based on mutual interest and mutual respect.I knew that this vision would not be fulfilled in a single year, or even several years.But I knew we had to begin and that all of us have responsibilities to fulfill.正是出于這種原因，近一年前我前往開羅，呼吁締造美國和穆斯林關(guān)系的新開端——一個基于共同利益和相互尊重的新開端。我知道，這一愿景不可能在一年內(nèi)實現(xiàn)，甚至不可能在數(shù)年內(nèi)實現(xiàn)，但我也知道我們必須開始，我們每一個人都為實現(xiàn)這個愿景承擔(dān)著責(zé)任。

As President, I've worked to ensure that America once again meets its responsibilities, especially when it comes to the security and political issues that have often been a source of tension.The United States is responsibly ending the war in Iraq, and we will partner with Iraqi people for their long-term prosperity and security.In Afghanistan, in Pakistan and beyond, we're forging new partnerships to isolate violent extremists, but also to combat corruption and foster the development that improves lives and communities.作為總統(tǒng)，我努力確保美國再度履行其責(zé)任，特別是涉及安全和政治問題時，因為這些問題常常造成關(guān)系的緊張。美國正在以負(fù)責(zé)任的方式結(jié)束伊拉克戰(zhàn)爭，我們將同伊拉克人民攜手努力，幫助他們贏得長期繁榮與安全。在阿富汗、巴基斯坦以及其他地區(qū)，我們正在結(jié)成新的伙伴關(guān)系，孤立暴力極端主義分子，同時與腐敗作斗爭，推動發(fā)展，改善人們的生活和社區(qū)。

I say it again tonight: Despite the inevitable difficulties, so long as I am President, the United States will never waver in our pursuit of a two-state solution that ensures the rights and security of both Israelis and Palestinians.(Applause.)And around the world, the United States of America will continue to stand with those who seek justice and progress and the human rights and dignity of all people.今晚我再說一遍：盡管有不可避免的困難，只要我是總統(tǒng)，美國絕不會動搖我們對兩國解決方案的追求，以確保以色列人和巴勒斯坦人雙方的權(quán)利和安全。（掌聲）在全世界，美利堅合眾國將繼續(xù)站在追求正義和進(jìn)步，追求所有人民的人權(quán)和尊嚴(yán)的人一邊。

But even as I committed the United States to addressing these security and political concerns, I also made it clear in Cairo that we needed something else--a sustained effort to listen to each other and to learn from each other, to respect one another.And I pledged to forge a new partnership, not simply between governments, but also between people on the issues that matter most in their daily lives--in your lives.在承諾美國將解決這些安全和政治問題的同時，我在開羅也明確表示，我們還需要進(jìn)行其他一些工作——不斷努力地互相傾聽，互相學(xué)習(xí)，互相尊重。我保證在他們?nèi)粘Ｉ钪小銈兩钪小钪匾膯栴}上締結(jié)新的伙伴關(guān)系，不僅在政府與政府之間，而且在人民與人民之間。

Now, many questioned whether this was possible.Yet over the past year, the United States has been reaching out and listening.We've joined interfaith dialogues and held town halls, roundtables and listening sessions with thousands of people around the world, including many of you.And like so many people, you've extended your hand in return, each in your own way, as entrepreneurs and educators, as leaders of faith and of science.現(xiàn)在，許多人懷疑這是否可能。然而在過去的一年中，美國始終主動對外接觸和進(jìn)行聆聽。我們參加了不同信仰之間的對話，舉行市民大會、圓桌會議和聽取意見的會議，世界各地的參與者達(dá)數(shù)千人，也包括你們中的許多人。和許多人一樣，你們作為企業(yè)家和教育家，作為宗教領(lǐng)袖和科學(xué)帶頭人，各自以你們自己特有的方式，也伸出了你們的手作為回應(yīng)。

I have to say, perhaps the most innovative response was from Dr.Naif al-Mutawa of Kuwait, who joins us here tonight.Where is Dr.Mutawa?(Applause.)His comic books have captured the imagination of so many young people with superheroes who embody the teachings and tolerance of Islam.After my speech in Cairo, he had a similar idea.So in his comic books, Superman and Batman reached out to their Muslim counterparts.(Laughter.)And I hear they're making progress, too.(Laughter.)Absolutely.(Applause.)我必須說，也許最有創(chuàng)意的反應(yīng)來自科威特的納伊夫·阿爾-木塔瓦（Naif al-Mutawa）博士。他今晚也在坐。木塔瓦博士在哪里？（掌聲）他出版的漫畫冊充滿了體現(xiàn)伊斯蘭教教義和寬容的超級英雄，抓住了如此眾多年輕人的想象力。我在開羅發(fā)表講話后，他也有同感。因此，在他的漫畫冊里，超人和蝙蝠俠主動向他們的穆斯林對應(yīng)人物伸出了手。(笑聲)而且我聽說他們也在取得進(jìn)展。(笑聲)絕對沒錯。（掌聲）

By listening to each other we've been able to partner with each other.We've expanded educational exchanges, because knowledge is the currency of the 21st century.Our distinguished science envoys have been visiting several of your countries, exploring ways to increase collaboration on science and technology.通過相互傾聽，我們已經(jīng)能夠互為合作伙伴。我們已經(jīng)擴(kuò)大了教育交流，因為知識是21世紀(jì)的通貨。我們杰出的科學(xué)特使訪問了你們的幾個國家，探討如何增進(jìn)科技合作。

We're advancing global health, including our partnership with the Organization of the Islamic Conference, to eradicate polio.This is just one part of our broader engagement with the OIC, led by my Special Envoy, Rashad Hussain, who joins us here tonight.Where's Rashad?(Applause.)我們正在促進(jìn)全球健康，例如我們與伊斯蘭會議組織（Organization of the Islamic Conference)結(jié)成伙伴關(guān)系，努力根除小兒麻痹癥。這僅僅是我們與伊斯蘭會議組織更廣泛接觸的一部分，是由我的特使，拉沙德·侯賽因（Rashad Hussain)所領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的。他今晚也在坐。拉沙德在哪里？（掌聲）

And we're partnering to expand economic prosperity.At a government level, I'd note that putting the G20 in the lead on global economic decision-making has brought more voices to the table--including Turkey, Saudi Arabia, India and Indonesia.And here today, we're fulfilling my commitment in Cairo to deepen ties between business leaders, foundations and entrepreneurs in the United States and Muslim communities around the world.我們正在為擴(kuò)大經(jīng)濟(jì)繁榮建立伙伴關(guān)系。在政府一級，我提請大家注意，讓20國集團(tuán)主導(dǎo)全球經(jīng)濟(jì)決策給會議帶來了更多的聲音——包括來自土耳其、沙特阿拉伯、印度和印度尼西亞的聲音。今天在這里，我們正在履行我在開羅的承諾，加強(qiáng)美國工商界領(lǐng)袖、各基金會和企業(yè)家與世界各地穆斯林社區(qū)的聯(lián)系。Now, I know some have asked--given all the security and political and social challenges we face, why a summit on entrepreneurship? The answer is simple.我知道有些人曾經(jīng)問道，在我們面臨各種安全與政治和社會挑戰(zhàn)的情況下，為什么要召開創(chuàng)業(yè)峰會？答案很簡單。

Entrepreneurship--because you told us that this was an area where we can learn from each other;where America can share our experience as a society that empowers the inventor and the innovator;where men and women can take a chance on a dream--taking an idea that starts around a kitchen table or in a garage, and turning it into a new business and even new industries that can change the world.創(chuàng)業(yè)——因為你們曾告訴我們，這是我們可以相互學(xué)習(xí)的一個領(lǐng)域；在這個領(lǐng)域，美國作為一個使發(fā)明者和創(chuàng)新者獲得自主能力的社會，可以分享我們經(jīng)驗；在這個領(lǐng)域，無論男女都有機(jī)會為實現(xiàn)自己夢想進(jìn)行嘗試——讓始于廚房桌面或車庫的一個設(shè)想轉(zhuǎn)化成新的業(yè)務(wù)，乃至于轉(zhuǎn)化成可以改變世界的新產(chǎn)業(yè)。Entrepreneurship--because throughout history, the market has been the most powerful force the world has ever known for creating opportunity and lifting people out of poverty.創(chuàng)業(yè)——因為縱觀歷史，市場是全世界一股前所未有的最強(qiáng)大的力量，能夠創(chuàng)造機(jī)會并使人們擺脫貧困。

Entrepreneurship--because it's in our mutual economic interest.Trade between the United States and Muslim-majority countries has grown.But all this trade, combined, is still only about the same as our trade with one country--Mexico.So there's so much more we can do together, in partnership, to foster opportunity and prosperity in all our countries.創(chuàng)業(yè)——因為這符合我們的共同經(jīng)濟(jì)利益。美國與穆斯林占人口大多數(shù)的各國之間的貿(mào)易獲得增長。但其貿(mào)易總額仍然只相當(dāng)于我國與墨西哥一國的貿(mào)易。因此，我們還有大量的工作可以共同承擔(dān)，結(jié)成伙伴關(guān)系，增進(jìn)我們各國的機(jī)會和繁榮。

And social entrepreneurship--because, as I learned as a community organizer in Chicago, real change comes from the bottom up, from the grassroots, starting with the dreams and passions of single individuals serving their communities.社會創(chuàng)業(yè)——因為正如我在芝加哥任社區(qū)組織者時所了解到的，真正的變革是自下而上的，是來自于基層的，始于為所在社區(qū)服務(wù)的個人的夢想和激情。And that's why we're here.We have Jerry Yang, who transformed how we communicate, with Yahoo.Is Jerry here? Where is he? He'll be here tomorrow.As well as entrepreneurs who have opened cybercafés and new forums on the Internet for discussion and development.Together, you can unleash the technologies that will help shape the 21st century.這就是我們在此集會的原因。楊致遠(yuǎn)以雅虎轉(zhuǎn)變了我們溝通的方式。楊致遠(yuǎn)在這里嗎？他在哪里？他明天會來。還有開設(shè)網(wǎng)吧以及從事討論和發(fā)展的網(wǎng)絡(luò)新論壇的創(chuàng)業(yè)家。你們能夠攜手開創(chuàng)有助于塑造21世紀(jì)的各種技術(shù)。

We have successes like Dr.Mohamed Ibrahim, who I met earlier, who built a telecommunications empire that empowered people across Africa.And we have aspiring entrepreneurs who are looking to grow their businesses and hire new workers.Together you can address the challenges of accessing capital.We have trailblazers like Sheikha Hanadi of Qatar, along with Waed al Taweel, who I met earlier--a 20-year-old student from the West Bank who wants to build recreation centers for Palestinian youth.So together, they represent the incredible talents of women entrepreneurs and remind us that countries that educate and empower women are countries that are far more likely to prosper.I believe that.(Applause.)我稍早見過的穆罕默德·易卜拉欣博士（Mohamed Ibrahim）成功地創(chuàng)建了一個電信王國，賦予非洲各地人民以力量。還有很多胸懷大志的創(chuàng)業(yè)家正在設(shè)法擴(kuò)大經(jīng)營，雇用更多人手。各位可以攜手應(yīng)對獲取資本的挑戰(zhàn)。此外還有來自卡塔爾的席克哈·罕那迪（Sheikha Hanadi）以及我稍早見過的瓦蒂·艾爾·塔維爾（Waed al Taweel）──這位二十多歲來自西岸的學(xué)生想為巴勒斯坦年輕人成立文娛中心。她們開辟了道路，共同代表著女性創(chuàng)業(yè)家驚人的才能，并且提醒我們能讓女性受教育并賦予其力量的國家更有可能繁榮昌盛。我相信如此。（掌聲）We have pioneers like Chris Hughes, who created Facebook, as well as an online community that brought so many young people into my campaign for President--MyBarackObama.com.(Laughter.)We have people like Soraya Salti of Jordan who are empowering the young men and women who will be leaders of tomorrow.(Applause.)Together, they represent the great potential and expectations of young people around the world.還有克里斯·休斯（Chris Hughes）這樣的先鋒人物，他創(chuàng)建了臉譜網(wǎng)（Facebook）以及一個號召眾多年輕人參加我的總統(tǒng)競選的網(wǎng)絡(luò)社群 ──MyBarackObama.com。（笑聲）來自約旦的索拉亞·薩爾迪（Soraya Salti），增進(jìn)了將成為明日領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人的男女青年的力量。（掌聲）他們共同代表著世界各地年輕人的極大潛力和期望。

And we've got social entrepreneurs like Tri Mumpuni, who has helped rural communities in Indonesia--(applause)--harness the electricity, and revenues, of hydro-power.And Andeisha Farid, an extraordinary woman from Afghanistan, who's taken great risks to educate the next generation, one girl at a time.(Applause.)Together, they point the way to a future where progress is shared and prosperity is sustainable.還有崔立·孟龐尼（Tri Mumpuni）這樣的社會創(chuàng)業(yè)家，幫助印度尼西亞的農(nóng)村社區(qū)──（掌聲）──利用水力發(fā)電獲得電能和收入。此外，一位杰出的阿富汗女性安德夏·法里德（Andeisha Farid）冒著極大風(fēng)險教育下一代，一個女孩一個女孩地教。（掌聲）他們一同指明了通往一個進(jìn)步共享而且繁榮永續(xù)的未來的途徑。

And I also happened to notice Dr.Yunus--it's wonderful to see you again.I think so many people know the history of Grameen Bank and all the great work that's been done to help finance entrepreneurship among the poorest of the poor, first throughout South Asia, and now around the world.我也剛好注意到尤努斯博士（Dr.Yunus），很高興再次看到你。很多人都知道孟加拉鄉(xiāng)村銀行（Grameen Bank）的歷史以及它對整個南亞，乃至現(xiàn)在對全世界最貧困人口的創(chuàng)業(yè)努力提供融資的豐功偉績。

So this is the incredible potential that you represent;the future we can seize together.So tonight I'm proud to announce a series of new partnerships and initiatives that will do just that.這是你們所展現(xiàn)的無窮潛力，這是我們可以共同把握的未來。因此今晚我很榮幸宣布一系列以此為目標(biāo)的新的伙伴關(guān)系和倡議。

The United States is launching several new exchange programs.We will bring business and social entrepreneurs from Muslim-majority countries to the United States and send their American counterparts to learn from your countries.(Applause.)So women in technology fields will have the opportunity to come to the United States for internships and professional development.And since innovation is central to entrepreneurship, we're creating new exchanges for science teachers.美國正在發(fā)起數(shù)個新的交流項目。我們將邀請穆斯林占人口大多數(shù)的國家的商業(yè)和社會創(chuàng)業(yè)家來到美國，并派遣你們的美國同行到你們國家學(xué)習(xí)。（掌聲）這樣，技術(shù)界的女性將有機(jī)會來美國實習(xí)并發(fā)展職業(yè)技能。由于創(chuàng)新是創(chuàng)業(yè)精神的核心，我們也為教授科學(xué)的老師創(chuàng)建了新的交流項目。

We're forging new partnerships in which high-tech leaders from Silicon Valley will share their expertise--in venture capital, mentorship, and technology incubators--with partners in the Middle East and in Turkey and in Southeast Asia.我們正在打造新的伙伴關(guān)系，其中硅谷的高科技領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人會和中東、土耳其及南亞的合作伙伴分享他們的專長──風(fēng)險投資、顧問指導(dǎo)以及技術(shù)孵化器。And tonight, I can report that the Global Technology and Innovation Fund that I announced in Cairo will potentially mobilize more than $2 billion in investments.This is private capital, and it will unlock new opportunities for people across our countries in sectors like telecommunications, health care, education, and infrastructure.今晚，我可以向各位報告，我在開羅宣布的全球科技及創(chuàng)新基金（Global Technology and Innovation Fund）有可能調(diào)動20多億美元的投資資金。這是私人資本，并會為全球各地的電信、醫(yī)療保健、教育和基礎(chǔ)建設(shè)行業(yè)的人士開啟新的契機(jī)。

And finally, I'm proud that we're creating here at this summit not only these programs that I've just mentioned, but it's not going to stop here.Together, we've sparked a new era of entrepreneurship--with events all over Washington this week, and upcoming regional conferences around the world.最后，我很驕傲地宣布，我們在這次峰會上不僅要創(chuàng)建我剛剛提到的各種項目，而且不會止步于此。我們將合力激發(fā)一個創(chuàng)業(yè)精神的新時代──通過本周在華盛頓舉行的各項活動，以及未來在全球各地舉辦的各種區(qū)域會議。

Tonight, I am pleased to announce that Prime Minister Erdogan has agreed to host the next Entrepreneurship Summit next year in Turkey.(Applause.)And so I thank the Prime Minister and the people and private sector leaders of Turkey for helping to sustain the momentum that we will unleash this week.今晚，我很高興宣布埃爾多安（Erdogan）總理已經(jīng)同意由土耳其在明年主辦下一屆創(chuàng)業(yè)峰會。（掌聲）因此，我感謝土耳其總理、人民及其民間領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人幫助保持我們將在本周形成的勢頭。

So as I said, there are those who questioned whether we could forge these new beginnings.And given the magnitude of the challenges we face in the world--and let's face it, a lot of the bad news that comes through the television each and every day--sometimes it can be tempting to believe that the goodwill and good works of ordinary people are simply insufficient to the task at hand.But to any who still doubt whether partnerships between people can remake our world, I say look at the men and women who are here today.因此正如我所指出的，有人對我們是否能夠締造新的開端表示置疑。鑒于我們在全世界面臨的種種挑戰(zhàn)的艱巨程度——讓我們面對事實，一個個壞消息每天從電視上傳來——有時很容易以為，普通人的善意和勤奮不足以完成當(dāng)前的任務(wù)。不過，對于那些仍然懷疑人民之間的合作關(guān)系能否重新塑造我們這個世界的人，請不妨看看今天與會的各位代表。

Look at the professor who came up with an idea--micro-finance--that empowered the rural poor across his country, especially women and children.That's the powerful example of Dr.Yunus.不妨看看這位提出小額信貸理念的教授，他增進(jìn)了自己國家的農(nóng)村貧困人口，特別是婦女和兒童的權(quán)益。這就是尤努斯博士感人的典范力量。

Look what happened when Muhammad shared his idea with a woman from Pakistan, who has since lifted hundreds of thousands of families and children out of poverty through a foundation whose name literally means “miracle.” That's the example of Roshaneh Zafar.(Applause.)不妨看看穆罕默德與一位來自巴基斯坦的婦女交流想法后所產(chǎn)生的實效。她此后通過一個名副其實的“奇跡”基金會幫助成千上萬的家庭和兒童擺脫了貧困。這就是羅珊娜·扎法(Roshaneh Zafar)樹立的典范。(掌聲)Look what happened when that idea spread across the world--including to people like my own mother, who worked with the rural poor from Pakistan to Indonesia.That simple idea, began with a single person, has now transformed the lives of millions.That's the spirit of entrepreneurship.不妨看看當(dāng)這一理念在全球傳播時所產(chǎn)生的實效，這其中也包括我自己的母親，她曾與來自巴基斯坦和印尼等國的農(nóng)村窮困人口一起工作。那個理念，從一人開始，如今卻改變了數(shù)百萬人的生活。這就是創(chuàng)業(yè)精神。

So, yes, the new beginning we seek is not only possible, it has already begun.It exists within each of you, and millions around the world who believe, like we do, that the future belongs not to those who would divide us, but to those who come together;not to those who would destroy, but those who would build;not those trapped in the past, but those who, like us, believe with confidence and conviction in a future of justice and progress and the dignity of all human beings regardless of their race, regardless of their religion.所以說，不錯，我們爭取的新開端不僅是可能的，而且已經(jīng)開始形成。它存在于你們大家每一個人的心中，以及全世界像我們一樣的數(shù)以百萬計的人，他們堅信未來并不屬于那些圖謀分裂的人，而屬于那些尋求團(tuán)結(jié)的人；不屬于那些進(jìn)行破壞的人，而屬于那些從事建設(shè)的人；不屬于那些一味沉溺于過去的人，而屬于像我們這樣堅定不移地相信全人類不分種族和宗教信仰，都擁有公平和進(jìn)步的未來，并且都享有尊嚴(yán)的人。

That's the enormous potential that we're hoping to unlock during this conference and hoping to continue not only this week but in the months and years ahead.So I'm grateful that all of you are participating.這就是我們期望能在本次大會中釋放出來的巨大潛能，并且希望不僅在本周而且在未來的數(shù)月、數(shù)年中繼續(xù)將其發(fā)揚(yáng)光大。為此，我對與會的每一位代表表示感謝。

May God bless you all and may God's peace be upon you.Thank you very much.Thank you.(Applause.)

愿上帝保佑你們大家，愿主賜予你們平安。非常感謝你們，謝謝大家。（掌聲）

第二篇：美國總統(tǒng)奧巴馬在上海演講(中英對照全文)

美國總統(tǒng)奧巴馬在上海演講（中英對照全文）2009年11月21日 星期六 09:22 2009年11月16日, 首次訪華的美國總統(tǒng)奧巴馬在上?？萍疾┪镳^與數(shù)百名中國學(xué)生對話，在對話前，奧巴馬發(fā)表了演講。以下為奧巴馬演講的中英文對照全文。

PRESIDENT OBAMA: Good afternoon.It is a great honor for me to be here in Shanghai, and to have this opportunity to speak with all of you.I'd like to thank Fudan University's President Yang for his hospitality and his gracious welcome.I'd also like to thank our outstanding Ambassador, Jon Huntsman, who exemplifies the deep ties and respect between our nations.I don't know what he said, but I hope it was good.(Laughter.)

奧巴馬總統(tǒng)：你們好。能夠有機(jī)會在上海跟你們大家交談，我深感榮幸。我要感謝復(fù)旦大學(xué)的楊校長，感謝他的款待和熱情的歡迎。我還要感謝我們出色的大使洪博培，他代表了我們兩國之間的深遠(yuǎn)聯(lián)系和相互尊重。我不知道他剛才說什么，但是希望他說得不錯。（笑聲）

What I'd like to do is to make some opening comments, and then what I'm really looking forward to doing is taking questions, not only from students who are in the audience, but also we've received questions online, which will be asked by some of the students who are here in the audience, as well as by Ambassador Huntsman.And I am very sorry that my Chinese is not as good as your English, but I am looking forward to this chance to have a dialogue.我今天準(zhǔn)備先做一個開場白，但我真正希望做的是回答問題，不但回答在座的學(xué)生提出的問題，同時也回答從網(wǎng)上提出的一些問題，這些問題由在座的一些學(xué)生和洪博培大使代為提出。很抱歉，我的中文不如你們的英文，但我期待著這個和你們對話的機(jī)會。

This is my first time traveling to China, and I'm excited to see this majestic country.Here, in Shanghai, we see the growth that has caught the attention of the world--the soaring skyscrapers, the bustling streets and entrepreneurial activity.And just as I'm impressed by these signs of China's journey to the 21st century, I'm eager to see those ancient places that speak to us from China's distant past.Tomorrow and the next day I hope to have a chance when I'm in Beijing to see the majesty of the Forbidden City and the wonder of the Great Wall.Truly, this is a nation that encompasses both a rich history and a belief in the promise of the future.這是我首次訪問中國，看到你們壯麗的國家，我感到很興奮。在上海，我們看到了全球矚目的發(fā)展——高聳的大廈、繁忙的街道、創(chuàng)業(yè)的動態(tài)。這些都是中國步入21世紀(jì)的跡象，讓我感到贊嘆。同時，我也期盼看到向我們展現(xiàn)中國悠久歷史的古跡。明天和后天我會在北京，希望有機(jī)會看到壯觀的故宮和奇跡般的長城。的確，這是一個既有豐富的歷史，又對未來的希望充滿信心的國家。

The same can be said of the relationship between our two countries.Shanghai, of course, is a city that has great meaning in the history of the relationship between the United States and China.It was here, 37 years ago, that the Shanghai Communique opened the door to a new chapter of engagement between our governments and among our people.However, America's ties to this city--and to this country--stretch back further, to the earliest days of America's independence.我們兩國的關(guān)系也是如此。毫無疑問，上海在美中關(guān)系史上是一個具有重大意義的城市。正是在這里，37年前發(fā)布的《上海公報》（Shanghai Communique）開啟了我們兩國政府和兩國人民接觸交往的新篇章。然而，美國與這個城市以及這個國家的紐帶可以追溯到更久遠(yuǎn)的過去，直至美國獨(dú)立初期。

In 1784, our founding father, George Washington, commissioned the Empress of China, a ship that set sail for these shores so that it could pursue trade with the Qing Dynasty.Washington wanted to see the ship carry the flag around the globe, and to forge new ties with nations like China.This is a common American impulse--the desire to reach for new horizons, and to forge new partnerships that are mutually beneficial.1784年，我們的建國之父喬治·華盛頓主持了“中國女皇號”（Empress of China）的下水儀式。這條船前往中國海岸，尋求與清朝通商。華盛頓希望看到這條懸掛美國國旗的船前往世界各地，與像中國這樣的國家締結(jié)新的紐帶。這是通常的美國人的愿望——希望達(dá)到新的地平線，建立新的、互利的伙伴關(guān)系。

Over the two centuries that have followed, the currents of history have steered the relationship between our countries in many directions.And even in the midst of tumultuous winds, our people had opportunities to forge deep and even dramatic ties.For instance, Americans will never forget the hospitality shown to our pilots who were shot down over your soil during World War II, and cared for by Chinese civilians who risked all that they had by doing so.And Chinese veterans of that war still warmly greet those American veterans who return to the sites where they fought to help liberate China from occupation.在此后的兩個世紀(jì)中，歷史洪流使我們兩國關(guān)系向許多不同的方向發(fā)展，但即使在動蕩的歲月中，兩國人民也抓住機(jī)會發(fā)展了深入的、甚至極不平凡的關(guān)系。例如，美國人民永遠(yuǎn)不會忘記，二戰(zhàn)期間，美國飛行員在中國上空被擊落后，中國公民冒著失去一切的危險護(hù)理他們。參加過二戰(zhàn)的中國老兵仍然熱情歡迎故地重游的美國老兵，他們曾經(jīng)在那里作戰(zhàn)，幫助中國從占領(lǐng)下獲得解放。

A different kind of connection was made nearly 40 years ago when the frost between our countries began to thaw through the simple game of table tennis.The very unlikely nature of this engagement contributed to its success--because for all our differences, both our common humanity and our shared curiosity were revealed.As one American player described his visit to China--“[The]people are just like us…The country is very similar to America, but still very different.”

近40年前，簡單的乒乓球比賽帶來了兩國關(guān)系的解凍，使我們兩國建立起另一種聯(lián)系。這種接觸令人意外，但卻恰恰促成了其成功，因為盡管我們之間存在許多分歧，但是我們共同的人性和共同的好奇心得以從中顯現(xiàn)。正如一位美國乒乓球隊員在回憶對中國的訪問時所說：“那里的人民和我們一樣??這個國家和美國有許多相似之處，也有很大區(qū)別。” Of course this small opening was followed by the achievement of the Shanghai Communique, and the eventual establishment of formal relations between the United States and China in 1979.And in three decades, just look at how far we have come.無須贅言，這個小小的契機(jī)帶來了《上海公報》的問世，并最終促使美中兩國在1979年建立正式外交關(guān)系。請看在此后的30年，我們?nèi)〉昧硕嗝撮L足的進(jìn)展。

In 1979, trade between the United States and China stood at roughly $5 billion--today it tops over $400 billion each year.The commerce affects our people's lives in so many ways.America imports from China many of the computer parts we use, the clothes we wear;and we export to China machinery that helps power your industry.This trade could create even more jobs on both sides of the Pacific, while allowing our people to enjoy a better quality of life.And as demand becomes more balanced, it can lead to even broader prosperity.1979年，美中貿(mào)易額約為50億美元，今天，貿(mào)易額已經(jīng)超過4000億美元。貿(mào)易在許多方面影響著兩國人民的生活，美國電腦中的許多元件以及我們身穿的服裝都是從中國進(jìn)口的，我們向中國出口你們的工業(yè)需要的機(jī)器。這種貿(mào)易可以在太平洋兩岸創(chuàng)造更多的就業(yè)機(jī)會，讓我們的人民過上質(zhì)量更高的生活。隨著需求趨于平衡，繁榮的范圍將進(jìn)一步擴(kuò)大。

In 1979, the political cooperation between the United States and China was rooted largely in our shared rivalry with the Soviet Union.Today, we have a positive, constructive and comprehensive relationship that opens the door to partnership on the key global issues of our time--economic recovery and the development of clean energy;stopping the spread of nuclear weapons and the scourge of climate change;the promotion of peace and security in Asia and around the globe.All of these issues will be on the agenda tomorrow when I meet with President Hu.1979年，美中之間的政治合作主要立足于雙方共同面對的競爭對手蘇聯(lián)。如今我們享有積極的、建設(shè)性的、全面的關(guān)系，為我們在當(dāng)今時代的關(guān)鍵性全球問題上建立伙伴關(guān)系打開了大門，這些問題包括：經(jīng)濟(jì)復(fù)蘇和清潔能源開發(fā)、制止核武器擴(kuò)散和氣候變化的影響、在亞洲及全球各地促進(jìn)和平與安全。所有這些問題都是我明天與胡主席會談的內(nèi)容。

And in 1979, the connections among our people were limited.Today, we see the curiosity of those ping-pong players manifested in the ties that are being forged across many sectors.The second highest number of foreign students in the United States come from China, and we've seen a 50 percent increase in the study of Chinese among our own students.There are nearly 200 “friendship cities” drawing our communities together.American and Chinese scientists cooperate on new research and discovery.And of course, Yao Ming is just one signal of our shared love of basketball--I'm only sorry that I won't be able to see a Shanghai Sharks game while I'm visiting.1979年，我們兩國人民的聯(lián)系十分有限。今天，我們看到當(dāng)年乒乓球隊員的好奇心已經(jīng)化為許多領(lǐng)域的紐帶，中國留學(xué)生在美國的人數(shù)名列第二，而在美國學(xué)生中，學(xué)中文的人數(shù)增加了50%。我們兩國有近200個友好城市，把我們的社區(qū)連接在一起。美中科學(xué)家合作進(jìn)行新的研究與發(fā)現(xiàn)。而姚明是我們兩國人民都熱愛籃球的僅僅一個標(biāo)志而已——令我遺憾的是，此行中我不能觀看上海大鯊魚隊的比賽。

It is no coincidence that the relationship between our countries has accompanied a period of positive change.China has lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty--an accomplishment unparalleled in human history--while playing a larger role in global events.And the United States has seen our economy grow along with the standard of living enjoyed by our people, while bringing the Cold War to a successful conclusion.我們兩國之間的關(guān)系相伴著一個積極變化的時期，這不是偶然的。中國實現(xiàn)了億萬人民脫貧，這一成就史無前例，同時，中國在全球問題中也在發(fā)揮更大的作用。美國在促使冷戰(zhàn)順利結(jié)束的同時，經(jīng)濟(jì)也取得了增長，人民的生活水平提高。

There is a Chinese proverb: “Consider the past, and you shall know the future.” Surely, we have known setbacks and challenges over the last 30 years.Our relationship has not been without disagreement and difficulty.But the notion that we must be adversaries is not predestined--not when we consider the past.Indeed, because of our cooperation, both the United States and China are more prosperous and more secure.We have seen what is possible when we build upon our mutual interests, and engage on the basis of mutual respect.中國有句名言：“溫故而知新?！碑?dāng)然，過去30年中我們也曾遇到挫折和挑戰(zhàn)，我們的關(guān)系不是沒有分歧和困難。但是，“我們必然是對手”的概念并非是注定不變的——回顧過去不會是這樣。由于我們的合作，美中兩國都更加繁榮、更加安全。我們已經(jīng)看到我們本著共同的利益和相互的尊重去努力所能取得的成果。

And yet the success of that engagement depends upon understanding--on sustaining an open dialogue, and learning about one another and from one another.For just as that American table tennis player pointed out--we share much in common as human beings, but our countries are different in certain ways.可是，這種接觸的成功取決于理解，取決于繼續(xù)進(jìn)行開誠布公的對話，相互了解，相互學(xué)習(xí)。正如前面提到的那位美國乒乓球隊員所說——作為人，我們有著許多共同之處，但是我們兩國在某些方面存在著差別。

I believe that each country must chart its own course.China is an ancient nation, with a deeply rooted culture.The United States, by comparison, is a young nation, whose culture is determined by the many different immigrants who have come to our shores, and by the founding documents that guide our democracy.Those documents put forward a simple vision of human affairs, and they enshrine several core principles--that all men and women are created equal, and possess certain fundamental rights;that government should reflect the will of the people and respond to their wishes;that commerce should be open, information freely accessible;and that laws, and not simply men, should guarantee the administration of justice.我認(rèn)為每個國家都必須規(guī)劃自己的前進(jìn)方向。中國是一個文明古國，文化深遠(yuǎn)。而美國相對而言是一個年輕的國家，它的文化由來自許多不同國家的移民以及指導(dǎo)我國民主制度的建國綱領(lǐng)所形成。這些綱領(lǐng)中提出了對人類事務(wù)的簡單明了的矚望，并包含了一些核心原則——不論男女人人生而平等，都享有某些基本權(quán)利；政府應(yīng)當(dāng)反映民意，并對人民的愿望作出回應(yīng)；商貿(mào)應(yīng)該是開放的，信息應(yīng)該自由流通；司法保障應(yīng)該來自法治而不是人治。

Of course, the story of our nation is not without its difficult chapters.In many ways--over many years--we have struggled to advance the promise of these principles to all of our people, and to forge a more perfect union.We fought a very painful civil war, and freed a portion of our population from slavery.It took time for women to be extended the right to vote, workers to win the right to organize, and for immigrants from different corners of the globe to be fully embraced.Even after they were freed, African Americans persevered through conditions that were separate and not equal, before winning full and equal rights.當(dāng)然，我國的歷史也并非沒有困難的篇章。在很多方面，在很長的時間里，我們要通過斗爭去實現(xiàn)這些原則對全體人民的承諾，締造一個更趨完善的聯(lián)邦。我們曾打過一場很痛苦的南北戰(zhàn)爭，將我國的一部分人口從奴役下解放出來。婦女獲得投票權(quán)、勞工贏得組織權(quán)、來自世界各地的移民得到完全的接納——這些都是經(jīng)過了一段時間才實現(xiàn)的。非洲裔美國人即使在獲得自由后依然生活在被隔離和不平等的條件下，他們經(jīng)過不懈努力才最終贏得全面、平等的權(quán)利。

None of this was easy.But we made progress because of our belief in those core principles, which have served as our compass through the darkest of storms.That is why Lincoln could stand up in the midst of civil war and declare it a struggle to see whether any nation, conceived in liberty, and “dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal” could long endure.That is why Dr.Martin Luther King could stand on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and ask that our nation live out the true meaning of its creed.That's why immigrants from China to Kenya could find a home on our shores;why opportunity is available to all who would work for it;and why someone like me, who less than 50 years ago would have had trouble voting in some parts of America, is now able to serve as its President.所有這些都不曾輕而易舉。但是，由于我們對這些核心原則的堅定信念，我們?nèi)〉昧诉M(jìn)步，這些原則指引我們沖過了最黑暗的風(fēng)暴。這就是為什么林肯能在南北戰(zhàn)爭中挺身而出并宣布，這是一場考驗一個孕育于自由之中、“忠實于人人生而平等這一原則”的國家能否永存的斗爭。這也就是為什么馬丁·路德·金博士能夠站立在林肯紀(jì)念堂的臺階上，要求我們的國家實踐自身信仰的真正含義。這也就是為什么來自從中國到肯尼亞的各國移民能夠在我國的土地上安家；為什么所有努力尋求機(jī)會的人都能獲得機(jī)會；為什么像我這種在不到50年前在美國的某些地方連投票都遇到困難的人，現(xiàn)在能夠出任這個國家的總統(tǒng)。

And that is why America will always speak out for these core principles around the world.We do not seek to impose any system of government on any other nation, but we also don't believe that the principles that we stand for are unique to our nation.These freedoms of expression_r_r_r and worship--of access to information and political participation--we believe are universal rights.They should be available to all people, including ethnic and religious minorities--whether they are in the United States, China, or any nation.Indeed, it is that respect for universal rights that guides America's openness to other countries;our respect for different cultures;our commitment to international law;and our faith in the future.這就是為什么美國一直在全世界為這些核心原則而大聲疾呼。我們不尋求把任何政治體制強(qiáng)加給任何別的國家，但是我們也不認(rèn)為我們主張的這些原則是我們國家所獨(dú)有的。表達(dá)自由和宗教信仰自由——獲得信息和政治參與的自由——我們認(rèn)為這些自由都是普世的權(quán)利，所有人都應(yīng)當(dāng)享有，包括少數(shù)民族和宗教少數(shù)派，不管是在美國、中國還是在任何其他國家。正是對普世權(quán)利的尊重指導(dǎo)著美國向其他國家開放，尊重各種不同的文化，致力于遵守國際法，并對未來抱有信念。

These are all things that you should know about America.I also know that we have much to learn about China.Looking around at this magnificent city--and looking around this room--I do believe that our nations hold something important in common, and that is a belief in the future.Neither the United States nor China is content to rest on our achievements.For while China is an ancient nation, you are also clearly looking ahead with confidence, ambition, and a commitment to see that tomorrow's generation can do better than today's.這些都是你們應(yīng)當(dāng)了解的美國的情況。我也知道中國有很多有待我們了解的情況。環(huán)顧一下這座偉大的城市——環(huán)顧一下這個大廳——我確信我們兩個國家有一個很重要的共同點，那就是我們對未來的信念。美國和中國都不想滿足于已取得的成就，止步不前。雖然中國是一個古老的國家，但你們顯然也對未來滿懷信心、雄心和使年輕一代能比這一代人更有作為的決心。

In addition to your growing economy, we admire China's extraordinary commitment to science and research--a commitment borne out in everything from the infrastructure you build to the technology you use.China is now the world's largest Internet user--which is why we were so pleased to include the Internet as a part of today's event.This country now has the world's largest mobile phone network, and it is investing in the new forms of energy that can both sustain growth and combat climate change--and I'm looking forward to deepening the partnership between the United States and China in this critical area tomorrow.But above all, I see China's future in you--young people whose talent and dedication and dreams will do so much to help shape the 21st century.我們不但欽佩中國日益增長的經(jīng)濟(jì)，還贊賞你們在科學(xué)研究方面極不平凡的努力——從你們建設(shè)的基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施到你們使用的技術(shù)，均體現(xiàn)出這種努力。中國現(xiàn)在是世界上最大的互聯(lián)網(wǎng)使用國——這也是我們今天很高興能把互聯(lián)網(wǎng)作為此次活動的一部分的原因。這個國家目前擁有世界上最大的移動電話網(wǎng)絡(luò)，它正在投資發(fā)展既能維持可持續(xù)增長，又能應(yīng)對氣候變化的新型能源——我期待著明天在這個至關(guān)重要的領(lǐng)域中深化兩國的合作關(guān)系。然而，最重要的是，我在你們身上看到了中國的未來——年輕一代的聰明才智、獻(xiàn)身精神和夢想將為塑造21世紀(jì)發(fā)揮巨大作用。

I've said many times that I believe that our world is now fundamentally interconnected.The jobs we do, the prosperity we build, the environment we protect, the security that we seek--all of these things are shared.And given that interconnection, power in the 21st century is no longer a zero-sum game;one country's success need not come at the expense of another.And that is why the United States insists we do not seek to contain China's rise.On the contrary, we welcome China as a strong and prosperous and successful member of the community of nations--a China that draws on the rights, strengths, and creativity of individual Chinese like you.我已說過多次，我相信我們現(xiàn)在的世界是緊密相連的。我們所做的工作，我們所建設(shè)的繁榮，我們所保護(hù)的環(huán)境，以及我們所尋求的安全——所有這一切都是共有的。鑒于這種相互聯(lián)系，在21世紀(jì)，權(quán)力不應(yīng)再成為一場零和游戲；一國的成功發(fā)展不應(yīng)以他國為代價。這也就是為什么美國堅決表示我們不謀求遏制中國的崛起。恰恰相反，我們歡迎中國成為國際社會中一個強(qiáng)大、繁榮、成功的成員——一個從你們這樣的每個中國人的權(quán)利、實力和創(chuàng)造力中獲得力量的中國。

To return to the proverb--consider the past.We know that more is to be gained when great powers cooperate than when they collide.That is a lesson that human beings have learned time and again, and that is the example of the history between our nations.And I believe strongly that cooperation must go beyond our government.It must be rooted in our people--in the studies we share, the business that we do, the knowledge that we gain, and even in the sports that we play.And these bridges must be built by young men and women just like you and your counterparts in America.回到前面提到的那句古語——回顧過去。我們知道，大國之間選擇合作而非對抗會帶來更大的惠益。這是人類不斷汲取的一個教訓(xùn)，我們兩國的關(guān)系史中也不乏其例。我深信，合作必須不止于政府間的合作。合作必須植根于我們的人民——植根于我們共同進(jìn)行的研究，我們的商貿(mào)活動，我們所學(xué)到的知識，乃至我們的體育運(yùn)動。這些橋梁必須由你們這樣的年輕人和美國的年輕人共同構(gòu)筑。

That's why I'm pleased to announce that the United States will dramatically expand the number of our students who study in China to 100,000.And these exchanges mark a clear commitment to build ties among our people, as surely as you will help determine the destiny of the 21st century.And I'm absolutelyconfident that America has no better ambassadors to offer than our young people.For they, just like you, are filled with talent and energy and optimism about the history that is yet to be written.因此，我高興地宣布，美國準(zhǔn)備將在中國留學(xué)的美國學(xué)生人數(shù)大幅度增加到10萬人。這種交流是對在我們兩國人民之間建立聯(lián)系的明確承諾，毫無疑問，你們將幫助決定21世紀(jì)的命運(yùn)。我完全相信，對美·來說，再好的使者莫過于我們的年輕人。因為他們和你們一樣，才華橫溢，充滿活力，對有待書寫的歷史篇章充滿樂觀。

So let this be the next step in the steady pursuit of cooperation that will serve our nations, and the world.And if there's one thing that we can take from today's dialogue, I hope that it is a commitment to continue this dialogue going forward.那么，就讓這個舉措成為我們穩(wěn)步尋求合作的下一個步驟，這種合作有利于我們兩國乃至整個世界。如果能從今天的對話中得到一點啟示的話，我希望那就是致力于今后繼續(xù)進(jìn)行這種對話。

So thank you very much.And I look forward now to taking some questions from all of you.Thank you very much.(Applause.)

非常感謝諸位?，F(xiàn)在我希望回答你們大家提出的一些問題。非常感謝。（掌聲。）

2009.11.16奧巴馬上海對話中國青年(中英對照)

（一）2009-11-20 09:42 President Obama Holds Town Hall with Chinese Youth ·The White House President Barack Obama listens to a question at the town hall meeting with future Chinese leaders at the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum in Shanghai, China, Nov.16, 2009.(Official White House Photo by Lawrence Jackson)Posters commemorating President Barack Obama's appearance at the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum are handed out following his town hall meeting there in Shanghai, China, Nov.16, 2009.(Official White House Photo by Lawrence Jackson)[奧巴馬] 你好。諸位下午好。我感到很榮幸能夠有機(jī)會到上海跟你們交談，我要感謝復(fù)旦大學(xué)的楊校長，感謝他的款待和熱情的歡迎。我還想感謝我們出色的大使洪博培，他是我們兩國間深厚的紐帶。我不知道他剛才說什么，但是希望他說得很好。[13:17:39] PRESIDENT OBAMA: Good afternoon.It is a great honor for me to be here in Shanghai, and to have this opportunity to speak with all of you.I'd like to thank Fudan University's President Yang for his hospitality and his gracious welcome.I'd also like to thank our outstanding Ambassador, Jon Huntsman, who exemplifies the deep ties and respect between our nations.I don't know what he said, but I hope it was good.(Laughter.)[奧巴馬] 我今天準(zhǔn)備這樣，先做一個開場白，我真正希望做的是回答在座的問題，不但回答在座的學(xué)生問題，同時還可以從網(wǎng)上得到一些問題，由在座的一些學(xué)生和洪博培大使代為提問。很抱歉，我的中文遠(yuǎn)不如你們的英文，所以我期待和你們的對話。這是我首次訪問中國，我看到你們博大的國家，感到很興奮。在上海這里，我們看到了矚目的增長，高聳的塔樓，繁忙的街道，還有企業(yè)家的精神。這些都是中國步入21世紀(jì)的跡象，讓我感到贊嘆。同時我也急切的要看到向我們展現(xiàn)中國古老的古跡，明天和后天我要到北京去看雄偉壯麗的故宮和令人嘆為觀止的長城，這個國度既有豐富的歷史，又有對未來憧憬的信念。[13:17:47] What I'd like to do is to make some opening comments, and then what I'm really looking forward to doing is taking questions, not only from students who are in the audience, but also we've received questions online, which will be asked by some of the students who are here in the audience, as well as by Ambassador Huntsman.And I am very sorry that my Chinese is not as good as your English, but I am looking forward to this chance to have a dialogue.This is my first time traveling to China, and I'm excited to see this majestic country.Here, in Shanghai, we see the growth that has caught the attention of the world--the soaring skyscrapers, the bustling streets and entrepreneurial activity.And just as I'm impressed by these signs of China's journey to the 21st century, I'm eager to see those ancient places that speak to us from China's distant past.Tomorrow and the next day I hope to have a chance when I'm in Beijing to see the majesty of the Forbidden City and the wonder of the Great Wall.Truly, this is a nation that encompasses both a rich history and a belief in the promise of the future.[奧巴馬] 而我們兩國的關(guān)系也是如此，上海在美中關(guān)系的歷史中是個具有意義的重大城市，在30年前，《上海公報》打開了我們兩國政府和兩國人民接觸交往的新的篇章。[13:17:54] The same can be said of the relationship between our two countries.Shanghai, of course, is a city that has great meaning in the history of the relationship between the United States and China.It was here, 37 years ago, that the Shanghai Communique opened the door to a new chapter of engagement between our governments and among our people.[奧巴馬] 不過美國與這個國家的紐帶可以追溯更久遠(yuǎn)的過去，追溯到美國獨(dú)立的初期，喬治·華盛頓組織了皇后號的下水儀式，這個船成功前往大清王朝，華盛頓希望看到這艘船前往各地，與中國結(jié)成新的紐帶。希望中國開辟新的地平線，建立新的伙伴關(guān)系。在其后的兩個世紀(jì)中，歷史洪流使我們兩國關(guān)系向許多不同的方向發(fā)展，而即使在最動蕩的方向中，我們的兩國人民打造深的，甚至有戲劇性的紐帶，比如美國人永遠(yuǎn)不會忘記，在二戰(zhàn)期間，美國飛行員在中國上空被擊落后，當(dāng)?shù)厝嗣駥λ麄兊目畲?，中國公民冒著失去一切的危險罩著他們。[13:18:01]

However, America's ties to this city--and to this country--stretch back further, to the earliest days of America's independence.In 1784, our founding father, George Washington, commissioned the Empress of China, a ship that set sail for these shores so that it could pursue trade with the Qing Dynasty.Washington wanted to see the ship carry the flag around the globe, and to forge new ties with nations like China.This is a common American impulse--the desire to reach for new horizons, and to forge new partnerships that are mutually beneficial.Over the two centuries that have followed, the currents of history have steered the relationship between our countries in many directions.And even in the midst of tumultuous winds, our people had opportunities to forge deep and even dramatic ties.For instance, Americans will never forget the hospitality shown to our pilots who were shot down over your soil during World War II, and cared for by Chinese civilians who risked all that they had by doing so.And Chinese veterans of that war still warmly greet those American veterans who return to the sites where they fought to help liberate China from occupation.[奧巴馬] 而參加二戰(zhàn)的老兵仍然歡迎故地重游的美國老兵，他們在那里參戰(zhàn)。40年前，我們兩國間開啟了又一種聯(lián)系，兩國關(guān)系開始解凍，通過乒乓球的比賽解凍關(guān)系。我們兩國之間有著分歧，但是我們也有著共同的人性及有著共同的好奇，就像一位乒乓球人員一樣，那的國家就是一樣，但是這個小小的開頭帶來了《上海公報》的問世，最終還帶來了美中在1979年建交。在其后的30年我們又取得了長足的進(jìn)展，1979年美中貿(mào)易只有50億美元，現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)超過了4000億美元。[13:18:10] A different kind of connection was made nearly 40 years ago when the frost between our countries began to thaw through the simple game of table tennis.The very unlikely nature of this engagement contributed to its success--because for all our differences, both our common humanity and our shared curiosity were revealed.As one American player described his visit to China--“[The]people are just like us…The country is very similar to America, but still very different.” Of course this small opening was followed by the achievement of the Shanghai Communique, and the eventual establishment of formal relations between the United States and China in 1979.And in three decades, just look at how far we have come.In 1979, trade between the United States and China stood at roughly $5 billion--today it tops over $400 billion each year.[奧巴馬] 貿(mào)易在許多方面影響人民的生活，比如美國電腦中許多部件，還有穿的衣服都是從中國進(jìn)口的，我們向中國出口中國工業(yè)要使用的機(jī)器，這種貿(mào)易可以在太平洋兩岸創(chuàng)造更多的就業(yè)機(jī)會，讓我們的人民過上質(zhì)量更高的生活。[13:22:50] The commerce affects our people's lives in so many ways.America imports from China many of the computer parts we use, the clothes we wear;and we export to China machinery that helps power your industry.This trade could create even more jobs on both sides of the Pacific, while allowing our people to enjoy a better quality of life.[奧巴馬] 在需求趨于平衡的過程中，這種貿(mào)易可以是更廣闊的貿(mào)易。如今我們有著積極合作和全面的關(guān)系，為我們在當(dāng)前重大的全球問題上建立伙伴關(guān)系打開了大門，這些問題包括經(jīng)濟(jì)復(fù)蘇、潔凈能源的開發(fā)、制止核武器擴(kuò)散以及應(yīng)對氣候變化。還有在亞洲及全球各地促進(jìn)和平和穩(wěn)定，所有這些問題我明天與胡主席會談時都會談到。1979年的時候，我們兩國人民的聯(lián)系十分有限，如今當(dāng)年乒乓球運(yùn)動員的好奇可以在許多領(lǐng)域建立的聯(lián)系中都可以看到，在美國數(shù)量最多的留學(xué)生都來自中國。而在美國的學(xué)生中，學(xué)中文的人數(shù)增加了50%。我們兩國有近200個友好城市，美中科學(xué)家在許多新的研究領(lǐng)域和發(fā)現(xiàn)領(lǐng)域進(jìn)行合作，而我們兩國人民都熱愛籃球，姚明就是個例子。不過，此行中我不能觀看上海鯊魚隊的比賽，有點遺憾。[13:23:12] And as demand becomes more balanced, it can lead to even broader prosperity.In 1979, the political cooperation between the United States and China was rooted largely in our shared rivalry with the Soviet Union.Today, we have a positive, constructive and comprehensive relationship that opens the door to partnership on the key global issues of our time--economic recovery and the development of clean energy;stopping the spread of nuclear weapons and the scourge of climate change;the promotion of peace and security in Asia and around the globe.All of these issues will be on the agenda tomorrow when I meet with President Hu.And in 1979, the connections among our people were limited.Today, we see the curiosity of those ping-pong players manifested in the ties that are being forged across many sectors.The second highest number of foreign students in the United States come from China, and we've seen a 50 percent increase in the study of Chinese among our own students.There are nearly 200 “friendship cities” drawing our communities together.American and Chinese scientists cooperate on new research and discovery.And of course, Yao Ming is just one signal of our shared love of basketball--I'm only sorry that I won't be able to see a Shanghai Sharks game while I'm visiting.[奧巴馬] 那么我們兩國之間的這種關(guān)系給我們帶來了積極的變化，這并不是偶然的，中國使得億萬人民脫貧，而這種成就是人類歷史上史無前例的。而中國在全球問題中也發(fā)揮更大的作用，美國也目睹了我們經(jīng)濟(jì)的成長。中國有句古言，溫故而知新。當(dāng)然，我們過去30年中也遇到了挫折和挑戰(zhàn)，我們的關(guān)系并不是沒有困難的，沒有分歧的。但是我們必須一定是對手這種想法不應(yīng)該是一成不變的。由于我們兩國的合作，美中兩國都變得更加繁榮、更加安全。我們基于相互的利益、相互的尊重就能有成就。[13:23:27] It is no coincidence that the relationship between our countries has accompanied a period of positive change.China has lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty--an accomplishment unparalleled in human history--while playing a larger role in global events.And the United States has seen our economy grow along with the standard of living enjoyed by our people, while bringing the Cold War to a successful conclusion.There is a Chinese proverb: “Consider the past, and you shall know the future.” Surely, we have known setbacks and challenges over the last 30 years.Our relationship has not been without disagreement and difficulty.But the notion that we must be adversaries is not predestined--not when we consider the past.Indeed, because of our cooperation, both the United States and China are more prosperous and more secure.We have seen what is possible when we build upon our mutual interests, and engage on the basis of mutual respect.2009.11.16奧巴馬上海對話中國青年中英對照(二)2009-11-20 09:44 [奧巴馬] 不過，這種接觸的成功要取決于我們要彼此了解，要能夠進(jìn)行開誠布公的對話，彼此進(jìn)行了解。就像當(dāng)年美國乒乓球運(yùn)動員所說的，我們作為人有著共同的向往，但是我們兩國又不同。我認(rèn)為我們兩國每個國家都應(yīng)該勾畫出自己要走的路，中國是一個文明古國，它有著博大精深的文化。相對而言，美國是一個年輕的國家，它的文化受到來自許多不同國家移民的影響，而指導(dǎo)我們民主制度文件的影響，我有一個非常簡單的向往，代表了一些核心的原則，就是所有的人生來平等，都有著基本的權(quán)利，而政府應(yīng)當(dāng)反映人們的意志，貿(mào)易應(yīng)該是開放的，信息流通應(yīng)當(dāng)是自由的，而法律要保證這個公平。[13:23:38] And yet the success of that engagement depends upon understanding--on sustaining an open dialogue, and learning about one another and from one another.For just as that American table tennis player pointed out--we share much in common as human beings, but our countries are different in certain ways.I believe that each country must chart its own course.China is an ancient nation, with a deeply rooted culture.The United States, by comparison, is a young nation, whose culture is determined by the many different immigrants who have come to our shores, and by the founding documents that guide our democracy.Those documents put forward a simple vision of human affairs, and they enshrine several core principles--that all men and women are created equal, and possess certain fundamental rights;that government should reflect the will of the people and respond to their wishes;that commerce should be open, information freely accessible;and that laws, and not simply men, should guarantee the administration of justice.[奧巴馬] 當(dāng)然，我們的國家歷史也不是沒有過困難的地方，從很多方面來講，很多年以來，我們是通過斗爭來促進(jìn)這些原則或者是所有的人民能夠享受到，為了締造一個更完美的聯(lián)合，我們也打過一個很痛苦的內(nèi)戰(zhàn)，把一部分我們被奴役的人口釋放出來，經(jīng)過一段時間才能使婦女有投票權(quán)，勞工有組織權(quán)，包括來自各地的移民能夠全部不接受。即使他們被解放以后，非洲與美國人也和美國人經(jīng)過一些分開的、不平等的條件，經(jīng)過一段時間才爭取到全面的平等權(quán)利，所有這些是不容易的。但是我們對這些核心原則的信念我們?nèi)〉玫倪M(jìn)展，在最黑暗的風(fēng)暴當(dāng)中是作為我們的指南針。[13:25:18] Of course, the story of our nation is not without its difficult chapters.In many ways--over many years--we have struggled to advance the promise of these principles to all of our people, and to forge a more perfect union.We fought a very painful civil war, and freed a portion of our population from slavery.It took time for women to be extended the right to vote, workers to win the right to organize, and for immigrants from different corners of the globe to be fully embraced.Even after they were freed, African Americans persevered through conditions that were separate and not equal, before winning full and equal rights.None of this was easy.But we made progress because of our belief in those core principles, which have served as our compass through the darkest of storms.[奧巴馬] 這是為什么林肯在內(nèi)戰(zhàn)期間站起來說過，任何一個國家以自由、以所有人類平等的原則能夠長久的存在，也就是為什么金博士在林肯紀(jì)念館的前臺站起來，說我們國家要必須真正的實現(xiàn)我們的信念。也就是為什么來自中國或者肯尼亞的移民能夠到我們的家，也是為什么一個不到50年前以前在某些地方連投票都遇到困難的人，現(xiàn)在就能夠做到那個國家的總統(tǒng)。[13:25:30] That is why Lincoln could stand up in the midst of civil war and declare it a struggle to see whether any nation, conceived in liberty, and “dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal” could long endure.That is why Dr.Martin Luther King could stand on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and ask that our nation live out the true meaning of its creed.That's why immigrants from China to Kenya could find a home on our shores;why opportunity is available to all who would work for it;and why someone like me, who less than 50 years ago would have had trouble voting in some parts of America, is now able to serve as its President.[奧巴馬] 這就是為什么美國永遠(yuǎn)為了全世界各地的核心原則說話，我們不尋求把任何政治體制強(qiáng)制給任何國家，但是我們也不認(rèn)為我們所支持的這些原則是我們國家所獨(dú)有的，這些表達(dá)自由、宗教崇拜自由、接觸信息的機(jī)會、政治的參與，我們認(rèn)為這些是普世的權(quán)利，應(yīng)該是所有人民能夠享受到，包括少數(shù)民族和宗教的族群，不管是在中國、美國和任何國家，對于普遍權(quán)利的尊敬，作為美國對其他國家的開放態(tài)度的指導(dǎo)原則，我們對其他文化的尊重，我們對國際法的承諾和對未來的信念的原則。[13:29:42] And that is why America will always speak out for these core principles around the world.We do not seek to impose any system of government on any other nation, but we also don't believe that the principles that we stand for are unique to our nation.These freedoms of expression and worship--of access to information and political participation--we believe are universal rights.They should be available to all people, including ethnic and religious minorities--whether they are in the United States, China, or any nation.Indeed, it is that respect for universal rights that guides America's openness to other countries;our respect for different cultures;our commitment to international law;and our faith in the future.[奧巴馬] 所有這些都是你們知道關(guān)于美國的一些情況，我們有很多要從中國學(xué)習(xí)。我們看看這個偉大城市的各地，也看看這個房間，我就相信我們兩國有很重要的共同點，也就是對未來的信念，不管是美國還是中國，對現(xiàn)在的成就不能感到自滿。雖然中國是一個古老的國家，你們也是充滿信心展望未來，致力于下一代能夠比這一代做的更好，除了你們不斷增長的經(jīng)濟(jì)之外，我們很配合中國在科學(xué)和研究方面所投入的力量，包括建設(shè)的基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施和使用的技術(shù)，中國是世界上使用互聯(lián)網(wǎng)技術(shù)最多的國家，這就是我們很高興互聯(lián)網(wǎng)是今天活動的一部分，這個國家也擁有最大的機(jī)動電話網(wǎng)絡(luò)，對新的投資保持繼續(xù)增長，和應(yīng)對氣候變化方面有新的投資，我也希望兩國加強(qiáng)這方面的合作。[13:29:55] These are all things that you should know about America.I also know that we have much to learn about China.Looking around at this magnificent city--and looking around this room--I do believe that our nations hold something important in common, and that is a belief in the future.Neither the United States nor China is content to rest on our achievements.For while China is an ancient nation, you are also clearly looking ahead with confidence, ambition, and a commitment to see that tomorrow's generation can do better than today's.In addition to your growing economy, we admire China's extraordinary commitment to science and research--a commitment borne out in everything from the infrastructure you build to the technology you use.China is now the world's largest Internet user--which is why we were so pleased to include the Internet as a part of today's event.This country now has the world's largest mobile phone network, and it is investing in the new forms of energy that can both sustain growth and combat climate change--and I'm looking forward to deepening the partnership between the United States and China in this critical area tomorrow.[奧巴馬] 但是更重要是看到年輕人你們的才能、你們的獻(xiàn)身精神、你們的夢想在21世紀(jì)實現(xiàn)方面會發(fā)揮很大的作用。我說過很多次，我認(rèn)為世界是互相連接的，我們所做的工作，我們所建立的繁榮，我們所保護(hù)的環(huán)境，我們所追求的安全，所有這些都是共同的，而且是互相連接的，所以21世紀(jì)的實力不在零和游戲，一個國家成功不應(yīng)該以另外一個國家的犧牲作為代價。這就是我們?yōu)槭裁床粚で蠖糁浦袊尼绕?。相反，我們歡迎中國作為一個國際社會的強(qiáng)的、繁榮的、成功的成員。[13:30:05] But above all, I see China's future in you--young people whose talent and dedication and dreams will do so much to help shape the 21st century.I've said many times that I believe that our world is now fundamentally interconnected.The jobs we do, the prosperity we build, the environment we protect, the security that we seek--all of these things are shared.And given that interconnection, power in the 21st century is no longer a zero-sum game;one country's success need not come at the expense of another.And that is why the United States insists we do not seek to contain China's rise.On the contrary, we welcome China as a strong and prosperous and successful member of the community of nations--a China that draws on the rights, strengths, and creativity of individual Chinese like you.[奧巴馬] 再回到剛才的諺語，我們應(yīng)該考慮過去。在大的國家合作的時候，就比互相碰撞會取得更多得好處，這就是人類在歷史上不斷吸取的教訓(xùn)。我認(rèn)為我們合作應(yīng)該是超越政府間的合作，應(yīng)該是以人民為基礎(chǔ)，我們所研究的內(nèi)容，我們所從事的生意，我們送獲得的知識，我們所進(jìn)行的體育比賽，所有這些橋梁必須是年輕人共同合作建立起來，這就是我為什么非常高興我們要大大的宣布我們到中國學(xué)習(xí)的留學(xué)生人數(shù)，要增加到10萬人。這樣交流就會表現(xiàn)出我們是愿意致力于加強(qiáng)兩國人民的聯(lián)系，而且我是絕對有信心。對美國來說，最好的大使、最好的使者就是年輕人，他們和你們一樣，很有才能，充滿活力，對未來的歷史還是很樂觀的，這是我們合作的下一步，惠及兩國和全世界。[13:30:13] To return to the proverb--consider the past.We know that more is to be gained when great powers cooperate than when they collide.That is a lesson that human beings have learned time and again, and that is the example of the history between our nations.And I believe strongly that cooperation must go beyond our government.It must be rooted in our people--in the studies we share, the business that we do, the knowledge that we gain, and even in the sports that we play.And these bridges must be built by young men and women just like you and your counterparts in America.That's why I'm pleased to announce that the United States will dramatically expand the number of our students who study in China to 100,000.And these exchanges mark a clear commitment to build ties among our people, as surely as you will help determine the destiny of the 21st century.And I'm absolutely confident that America has no better ambassadors to offer than our young people.For they, just like you, are filled with talent and energy and optimism about the history that is yet to be written.So let this be the next step in the steady pursuit of cooperation that will serve our nations, and the world.[奧巴馬] 今天可以吸收的一個最重要的內(nèi)容就是我們不斷的向前推進(jìn)。非常感謝?，F(xiàn)在歡迎各位提問題。[13:30:22] And if there's one thing that we can take from today's dialogue, I hope that it is a commitment to continue this dialogue going forward.So thank you very much.And I look forward now to taking some questions from all of you.Thank you very much.(Applause.)[奧巴馬] 順便說一句，這在美國是非常常見的傳統(tǒng)——舉行這種市政會議，我現(xiàn)在要做的就是如果你有興趣提問的話請舉手，我會說請你提問。我會從在座的觀眾中問一個問題，然后再讓這些學(xué)生代表以及洪大使從網(wǎng)上代為提問。我先找個男生再找一個女生，來回這么找，讓大家知道我是公平的。[13:30:31] So--I just want to make sure this works.This is a tradition, by the way, that is very common in the United States at these town hall meetings.And what we're going to do is I will just--if you are interested in asking a question, you can raise your hands.I will call on you.And then I will alternate between a question from the audience and an Internet question from one of the students who prepared the questions, as well as I think Ambassador Huntsman may have a question that we were able to obtain from the Web site of our embassy.So let me begin, though, by seeing--and then what I'll do is I'll call on a boy and then a girl and then--so we'll go back and forth, so that you know it's fair.奧巴馬] 這位小女孩你來開始吧。請等一下我給你話筒。[13:30:38] All right? So I'll start with this young lady right in the front.Why don't we wait for this microphone so everyone can hear you.And what's your name? [現(xiàn)場提問] 我叫程熙，我是復(fù)旦大學(xué)的學(xué)生，上海和芝加哥從1985年開始就是姐妹城市，這兩個城市進(jìn)行過各種經(jīng)貿(mào)、文化、政治交流，你現(xiàn)在在采取什么措施來加深美國和中國城市之間的關(guān)系。世博會明年將在上海舉行，你是否準(zhǔn)備參加世博會呢？ [13:30:56] Q

My name is(inaudible)and I am a student from Fudan University.Shanghai and Chicago have been sister cities since 1985, and these two cities have conduct a wide range of economic, political, and cultural exchanges.So what measures will you take to deepen this close relationship between cities of the United States and China? And Shanghai will hold the World Exposition next year.Will you bring your family to visit the Expo? Thank you.[奧巴馬] 非常感謝你的問題，我在來之前和上海的市長共進(jìn)午餐，他和我說他跟芝加哥，也就是我的家鄉(xiāng)有著很好的關(guān)系，他兩度訪問芝加哥，我認(rèn)為城市間有這種交流非常非常好，我剛才和韓市長談的問題之一就是我們這些城市如何可以彼此進(jìn)行交流，比如就潔凈能源的策略進(jìn)行交流。因為美中兩國共同面對的問題就是我們?nèi)绾卧谌丝谠鲩L的過程中，又解決氣候變化的問題，同時減少我們二氧化碳的排放。[13:31:14] PRESIDENT OBAMA: Well, thank you very much for the question.I was just having lunch before I came here with the Mayor of Shanghai, and he told me that he has had an excellent relationship with the city of Chicago--my home town--that he's visited there twice.And I think it's wonderful to have these exchanges between cities.One of the things that I discussed with the Mayor is how both cities can learn from each other on strategies around clean energy, because one of the issues that ties China and America together is how, with an expanding population and a concern for climate change, that we're able to reduce our carbon footprint.[奧巴馬] 很顯然，在美國以及在很多發(fā)達(dá)國家，人均能耗量都比中國的人均能耗量大，不過在中國成長的過程中，能耗量會增加，因此，我們找到新的戰(zhàn)略，這符合我們兩國的利益。我們剛才談了大眾捷運(yùn)，我知道上海和其他城市之間就有這種快軌，我相信美國以及芝加哥可以在這種快軌方面向中國學(xué)習(xí)。而在美國我們也在學(xué)習(xí)如何建造這種綠色建筑，當(dāng)然，在上海我看到有很多的吊車，很多的建筑在蓋起來。因此在這些新的技術(shù)上我們進(jìn)行合作是非常非常重要的，使得我們每一個建筑在采光、取暖等等方面都能減少能耗，使能源效率更高，這方面是我們兩國可以相互學(xué)習(xí)的。[13:35:20] And obviously in the United States and many developed countries, per capita, per individual, they are already using much more energy than each individual here in China.But as China grows and expands, it's going to be using more energy as well.So both countries have a great interest in finding new strategies.We talked about mass transit and the excellent rail lines that are being developed in Shanghai.I think we can learn in Chicago and the United States some of the fine work that's being done on high-speed rail.In the United States, I think we are learning how to develop buildings that use much less energy, that are much more energy-efficient.And I know that with Shanghai, as I traveled and I saw all the cranes and all the new buildings that are going up, it's very important for us to start incorporating these new technologies so that each building is energy-efficient when it comes to lighting, when it comes to heating.And so it's a terrific opportunity I think for us to learn from each other.[奧巴馬] 我知道上海世博會的焦點之一就是提高能效的問題，剛才韓市長跟我講了這個問題，我將非常樂于參加上海世博會，當(dāng)然，我現(xiàn)在不知道那時候我的時間安排怎么樣，不過我感到非常高興上海世博會將有我們的美國館，我們知道現(xiàn)在參觀世博會的人會有七千萬人。芝加哥已經(jīng)舉辦過兩次世博會，這兩次世博會都給我們芝加哥帶來了巨大的好處，我希望上海情況也是如此，謝謝。[13:35:32] I know this is going to be a major focus of the Shanghai World Expo, is the issue of clean energy, as I learned from the Mayor.And so I would love to attend.I'm not sure yet what my schedule is going to be, but I'm very pleased that we're going to have an excellent U.S.pavilion at the Expo, and I understand that we expect as many as 70 million visitors here.So it's going to be very crowded and it's going to be very exciting.Chicago has had two world expos in its history, and both of those expos ended up being tremendous boosts for the city.So I'm sure the same thing will happen here in Shanghai.Thank you.(Applause.)Why don't we get one of the questions from the Internet? And introduce yourself, in case –

2009.11.16奧巴馬上海對話中國青年中英對照(三)2009-11-20 09:46 [現(xiàn)場提問] 總統(tǒng)先生，我是上海交通大學(xué)的學(xué)生。我的問題是，您來中國的第一印象是什么？你給中國帶來什么？又想從中國帶走什么？ [13:35:41] Q

First shall I say it in Chinese, and then the English, okay? PRESIDENT OBAMA: Yes.Q

I want to pose a question from the Internet.I want to thank you, Mr.President, for visiting China in your first year in office, and exchange views with us in China.I want to know what are you bringing to China, your visit to China this time, and what will you bring back to the United States?(Applause.)[奧巴馬] 好。這次訪問的主要目的就是加深我對中國和中國對未來的愿景的理解，我已經(jīng)和胡主席進(jìn)行了幾次會晤，我們一起參加20國峰會，就是應(yīng)對金融危機(jī)，另外，我們就范圍廣泛的問題也進(jìn)行磋商。但是我認(rèn)為很重要的是美國要繼續(xù)不斷的加深對中國的了解，同樣中國要不斷加深對美國的了解也是重要的。至于我這次會晤希望有什么成果或者訪問的成果，除了能夠看紫禁城和長城這么偉大的好的機(jī)會，還有會見各位，所有這些都是我的一些高潮和亮點。[13:35:51] PRESIDENT OBAMA: The main purpose of my trip is to deepen my understanding of China and its vision for the future.I have had several meetings now with President Hu.We participated together in the G20 that was dealing with the economic financial crisis.We have had consultations about a wide range of issues.But I think it's very important for the United States to continually deepen its understanding of China, just as it's important for China to continually deepen its understanding of the United States.In terms of what I'd like to get out of this meeting, or this visit, in addition to having the wonderful opportunity to see the Forbidden City and the Great Wall, and to meet with all of you--these are all highlights –

[奧巴馬] 除此以外，我打算和胡主席談到一些問題，也就是洪大使提到的一點，世界上除非美中兩國一致，不然能夠解決全球的挑戰(zhàn)是極少的。我舉個例子來說，剛才談到的氣候變化這個問題，美國和中國是世界上最大的兩個溫室氣體的排放者，也就是造成全球變暖的因素。那么美國作為一個高度發(fā)達(dá)國家，就像剛才說的，從人均來講，人均消耗的能源多得多，排放的溫室氣體按人均來算比中國多得多，但是中國增長速度快得多，人口多得多，所以除非我們兩個國家都愿意采取一些關(guān)鍵的步驟來應(yīng)對這個問題，我們就無法解決這個問題。[13:35:59] but in addition to that, the discussions that I intend to have with President Hu speak to the point that Ambassador Huntsman made earlier, which is there are very few global challenges that can be solved unless the United States and China agree.So let me give you a specific example, and that is the issue we were just discussing of climate change.The United States and China are the world's two largest emitters of greenhouse gases, of carbon that is causing the planet to warm.Now, the United States, as a highly developed country, as I said before, per capita, consumes much more energy and emits much more greenhouse gases for each individual than does China.On the other hand, China is growing at a much faster pace and it has a much larger population.So unless both of our countries are willing to take critical steps in dealing with this issue, we will not be able to resolve it.[奧巴馬] 那么12月份舉行哥本哈根會議，世界的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人正在努力找到一個方案，能夠使我們大家都作出承諾，是有區(qū)別的，不會說每個國家承擔(dān)的義務(wù)一樣，顯然中國貧窮的人數(shù)多得多，所以他不需要跟美國做的一樣。但是各方都應(yīng)該承擔(dān)一些具體的義務(wù)，就是有關(guān)我們打算做些什么來減少溫室氣體。這只是一個例子，我希望會晤的成果，就是我和胡主席能夠就美中兩國怎么共同發(fā)揮領(lǐng)導(dǎo)作用而達(dá)成一致。因為我可以告訴各位，甚至很多其他國家他們將等著我們，他們要看我們做什么，他們要說，“你看美國、中國他們對這個并不認(rèn)真，那他們也不會認(rèn)真”。[13:39:24] There's going to be a Copenhagen conference in December in which world leaders are trying to find a recipe so that we can all make commitments that are differentiated so each country would not have the same obligations--obviously China, which has much more poverty, should not have to do exactly the same thing as the United States--but all of us should have these certain obligations in terms of what our plan will be to reduce these greenhouse gases.So that's an example of what I hope to get out of this meeting--a meeting of the minds between myself and President Hu about how together the United States and China can show leadership.Because I will tell you, other countries around the world will be waiting for us.They will watch to see what we do.And if they say, ah, you know, the United States and China, they're not serious about this, then they won't be serious either.[奧巴馬] 那兩個國家就要承擔(dān)做領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的責(zé)任。所以我們越是能夠討論這個問題，越是能夠向全世界展現(xiàn)在這些問題上的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)作用。好吧，我想現(xiàn)在輪到男士。[13:39:30] That is the burden of leadership that both of our countries now carry.And my hope is, is that the more discussion and dialogue that we have, the more we are able to show this leadership to the world on these many critical issues.Okay?(Applause.)All right, it's a--I think it must be a boy's turn now.Right? So I'll call on this young man right here.[現(xiàn)場提問] 我是同濟(jì)大學(xué)黃立赫（音）。首先我想引用“有朋自遠(yuǎn)方來不亦樂乎”這句話來歡迎您，在《論語·子路》中有一句話叫和而不同，我們中國人民的理想就是在世界構(gòu)建一個文化多元化的和諧世界。我們知道美國文化本身是在歷史沉淀當(dāng)中由不同的文化元素所積淀而成的多元混合型文化，請問在您的這屆政府中會采取哪些措施來共同構(gòu)建這個世界向著文化多元化發(fā)展？在您的外交政策中會有哪些措施去尊重各國的不同的歷史文化？我們中美兩國在此方面會有哪些合作？謝謝您。[13:39:39] Q

(As translated.)Mr.President, good afternoon.I'm from Tongji University.I want to cite a saying from Confucius: “It is always good to have a friend coming from afar.” In Confucius books, there is a great saying which says that harmony is good, but also we uphold differences.China advocates a harmonious world.We know that the United States develops a culture that features diversity.I want to know, what will your government do to build a diversified world with different cultures? What would you do to respect the different cultures and histories of other countries? And what kinds of cooperation we can conduct in the future? [奧巴馬] 我認(rèn)為這是非常好的一點，美國的優(yōu)勢之一就是我們是一個非常多元化的文化，我們那有來自世界各地的人，因此，這對于美國人長什么樣，你確實不能一言以蔽之，比如像我家我父親來自肯尼亞，我母親來自中西部的堪薩斯州，我妹妹是半個印度尼西亞人，她又嫁了一位加拿大的華裔人。因此當(dāng)你看到我們奧巴馬全家聚會的時候我們就像聯(lián)合國一樣，什么人都有，而這就是我們美國的力量所在，因為它意味著我們從不同的文化、從不同的飲食，從不同的想法中相互學(xué)習(xí)，這使得我們社會變得更加富有活力。同時每個國家在你中有我我中有你的世界中，每個國家有著自己的歷史傳統(tǒng)和文化，因此我認(rèn)為對于美國來講重要的一點就是不能推斷說，我們有好的做法適用到別人身上的時候也可以帶來好處。實際上這方面我們要虛心一點才行，對別的國家這種態(tài)度要虛心一點才行。[13:40:04] PRESIDENT OBAMA: This is an excellent point.The United States, one of our strengths is that we are a very diverse culture.We have people coming from all around the world.And so there's no one definition of what an American looks like.In my own family, I have a father who was from Kenya;I have a mother who was from Kansas, in the Midwest of the United States;my sister is half-Indonesian;she's married to a Chinese person from Canada.So when you see family gatherings in the Obama household, it looks like the United Nations.(Laughter.)And that is a great strength of the United States, because it means that we learn from different cultures and different foods and different ideas, and that has made us a much more dynamic society.Now, what is also true is that each country in this interconnected world has its own culture and its own history and its own traditions.And I think it's very important for the United States not to assume that what is good for us is automatically good for somebody else.And we have to have some modesty about our attitudes towards other countries.[奧巴馬] 如果要說正如我在開場白中所說的一樣，我們確實認(rèn)為一些基本的原則是所有人不管你是什么樣的文化，對所有人都應(yīng)該是共有的共性，比如在聯(lián)合國我們非?；钴S于聯(lián)合國來努力確保世界各地的兒童都能夠得到某些基本權(quán)利的待遇。當(dāng)然，有些地方兒童受到剝削、壓榨，強(qiáng)迫他們做童工，盡管以前不同的國家包括美國發(fā)生過這樣的事情，但是世界上所有的國家都應(yīng)當(dāng)有一個共同的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，就是要以比過去更好的方式來對待我們的兒童，這是一個普世的價值觀。[13:42:54] I have to say, though, as I said in my opening remarks, that we do believe that there are certain fundamental principles that are common to all people, regardless of culture.So, for example, in the United Nations we are very active in trying to make sure that children all around the world are treated with certain basic rights--that if children are being exploited, if there's forced labor for children, that despite the fact that that may have taken place in the past in many different countries, including the United States, that all countries of the world now should have developed to the point where we are treating children better than we did in the past.That's a universal value.[奧巴馬] 我相信對婦女的問題上情況也是如此，我跟上海的韓市長在吃午餐的時候進(jìn)行了很有趣的討論，他跟我說現(xiàn)在有很多專業(yè)人士，在中國的專業(yè)人士中，比如在大學(xué)生中女生比男生還多，而且她們的表現(xiàn)非常的好。我認(rèn)為這是一個取得進(jìn)展的很好的、很小的指標(biāo)，因為你看看世界各地的發(fā)展，一個最好的指標(biāo)就是一個國家是不是成就斐然的一個最好的指標(biāo)就是他的教育以及婦女所受的教育。而那些能夠發(fā)揮婦女的潛力的國家，那些做得好的國家他們得到好處就比那些不發(fā)揮婦女潛力的國家要大。當(dāng)然，男女關(guān)系中不同的文化有不同的做法，不過我認(rèn)為在美國，我們很重要的一點是要確認(rèn)世界各地婦女的權(quán)利，當(dāng)然，有些社會中婦女受到壓迫，她們不能得到足夠的機(jī)會，還有婦女受到暴力的影響等等，見到這些情況的時候我們都會直言不諱地提出來的。當(dāng)然，有些人可能不同意我們的觀點，我們可以就此展開對話，但是我們能夠?qū)崿F(xiàn)我們的理想才行。[13:43:08] I believe, for example, the same thing holds true when it comes to the treatment of women.I had a very interesting discussion with the Mayor of Shanghai during lunch right before I came, and he informed me that in many professions now here in China, there are actually more women enrolled in college than there are men, and that they are doing very well.I think that is an excellent indicator of progress, because it turns out that if you look at development around the world, one of the best indicators of whether or not a country does well is how well it educates its girls and how it treats its women.And countries that are tapping into the talents and the energy of women and giving them educations typically do better economically than countries that don't.So, now, obviously difficult cultures may have different attitudes about the relationship between men and women, but I think it is the view of the United States that it is important for us to affirm the rights of women all around the world.And if we see certain societies in which women are oppressed, or they are not getting opportunities, or there is violence towards women, we will speak out.Now, there may be some people who disagree with us, and we can have a dialogue about that.But we think it's important, nevertheless, to be true to our ideals and our values.[奧巴馬] 當(dāng)然，我們在做這個事情的過程中，我們要虛心，我們并不是十全十美的，我們在很多問題上也要取得進(jìn)展，你跟美國的婦女講的時候，她們會跟你說：很多男人對于婦女在社會中的地位還有一些成見。因此我們絕不聲稱我們解決了這些問題，但是我們認(rèn)為就這些問題，普世的原則我們還是要談的。下面聽聽網(wǎng)民的提問。[13:43:17] And we--and when we do so, though, we will always do so with the humility and understanding that we are not perfect and that we still have much progress to make.If you talk to women in America, they will tell you that there are still men who have a lot of old-fashioned ideas about the role of women in society.And so we don't claim that we have solved all these problems, but we do think that it's important for us to speak out on behalf of these universal ideals and these universal values.Okay? All right.We're going to take a question from the Internet.[現(xiàn)場提問] 總統(tǒng)先生，您好。我們非常榮幸來到這兒，我叫張新（音），來自于上海外國語大學(xué)。我想找一個網(wǎng)上的問題，這個問題是來自于臺灣的一位同胞。他說我來自于臺灣，現(xiàn)在我在大陸做生意，現(xiàn)在兩岸關(guān)系在近年來不斷地改善，我現(xiàn)在在大陸的生意做得很好。當(dāng)有人在美國說，美國想向臺灣售武的時候我們非常擔(dān)心，因為這樣的話會破壞兩岸關(guān)系?？偨y(tǒng)先生，我想知道您是否支持改善兩岸關(guān)系。當(dāng)然，這個問題是來自于一位商人。但是其實對于所有的年輕中國人來說，其實都非常關(guān)心這個問題，所以我們特別希望聽下您的看法。謝謝。[13:47:18] Q

Hello, Mr.President.It's a great honor to be here and meet you in person.PRESIDENT OBAMA: Thank you.Q

I will be reading a question selected on the Internet to you, and this question is from somebody from Taiwan.In his question, he said: I come from Taiwan.Now I am doing business on the mainland.And due to improved cross-straits relations in recent years, my business in China is doing quite well.So when I heard the news that some people in America would like to propose--continue selling arms and weapons to Taiwan, I begin to get pretty worried.I worry that this may make our cross-straits relations suffer.So I would like to know if, Mr.President, are you supportive of improved cross-straits relations? And although this question is from a businessman, actually, it's a question of keen concern to all of us young Chinese students, so we'd really like to know your position on this question.Thank you.(Applause.)[奧巴馬] 我過去很明確，我的政府全面支持一個中國的政策，也就像三個聯(lián)合公報所反映出的那樣子，就是幾十年前開始的關(guān)于針對與臺灣的關(guān)系，也包括和中華人民共和國的關(guān)系在內(nèi)。我們不愿意改變這個政策和這個態(tài)度。我非常高興看到緊張局勢的緩和和跨海峽兩岸關(guān)系的改善。而且我非常希望我們繼續(xù)看到兩岸不斷地改善關(guān)系，解決很多這樣的問題。[13:47:30] PRESIDENT OBAMA: Thank you.Well, I have been clear in the past that my administration fully supports a one-China policy, as reflected in the three joint communiqués that date back several decades, in terms of our relations with Taiwan as well as our relations with the People's Republic of China.We don't want to change that policy and that approach.I am very pleased with the reduction of tensions and the improvement in cross-straits relations, and it is my deep desire and hope that we will continue to see great improvement between Taiwan and the rest of--and the People's Republic in resolving many of these issues.[奧巴馬] 一個事情，美國在對外政策當(dāng)中，也包括針對中國的政策，我們一直尋求的一件事情就是要通過對話和談判問題能夠得到解決，我們一直認(rèn)為這是最好的途徑。我認(rèn)為這個地區(qū)正在發(fā)生著經(jīng)濟(jì)和商務(wù)的聯(lián)系，正在幫助緩和很多在你們出生或者我還沒有出生以前就已經(jīng)產(chǎn)生的緊張局勢，有些人還希望回顧過去來考慮問題，而不是展望未來，我還是希望能夠展望未來。就像我剛才說的，現(xiàn)在建立的商務(wù)關(guān)系是有益的，有人認(rèn)為做生意賺錢的話，他們會考慮得很清楚，而不會那么過分的擔(dān)憂這些意識形態(tài)的問題，而且我認(rèn)為這個地區(qū)已經(jīng)看到這個現(xiàn)象，我們非常支持這樣的進(jìn)程。好吧?，F(xiàn)在輪到女生。[13:47:41] One of the things that I think that the United States, in terms of its foreign policy and its policy with respect to China, is always seeking is ways that through dialogue and negotiations, problems can be solved.We always think that's the better course.And I think that economic ties and commercial ties that are taking place in this region are helping to lower a lot of the tensions that date back before you were born or even before I was born.Now, there are some people who still look towards the past when it comes to these issues, as opposed to looking towards the future.I prefer to look towards the future.And as I said, I think the commercial ties that are taking place--there's something about when people think that they can do business and make money that makes them think very clearly and not worry as much about ideology.And I think that that's starting to happen in this region, and we are very supportive of that process.Okay? Let's see, it's a girl's turn now, right? Yes, right there.Yes.Hold on, let's get--whoops, I'm sorry, they took the mic back here.I'll call on you next.Go ahead, and then I'll go up here later.Go ahead.009.11.16奧巴馬上海對話中國青年中英對照(四)2009-11-20 09:46 [現(xiàn)場提問] 謝謝?？偨y(tǒng)先生，我是來自于上海交通大學(xué)的一位學(xué)生。我想問一個您得諾貝爾和平獎的一個問題。您是如何看待您得獎的？您得了獎對您來說是不是意味著更多的壓力和責(zé)任？您有更多的責(zé)任去推動世界和平。同時，這會不會影響你解決世界問題的一些態(tài)度？ [13:47:58] Q

Thank you.PRESIDENT OBAMA: I'll call on you later.But I'll on her first and then I'll call on you afterwards.Go ahead.Q

Okay, thank you.Mr.President, I'm a student from Shanghai Jiao Tong University.I have a question concerning the Nobel Prize for Peace.In your opinion, what's the main reason that you were honored the Nobel Prize for Peace? And will it give you more responsibility and pressure to--more pressure and the responsibility to promote world peace? And will it bring you--will it influence your ideas while dealing with the international affairs? Thank you very much.[奧巴馬] 這個問題問得非常好，謝謝。正如我開始所說，關(guān)于我得到的和平獎這個問題最驚奇的就是我自己，當(dāng)然，這是一個殊榮，不過我認(rèn)為這個榮譽(yù)我有點不配。因為考慮到以前得獎的人所做的工作我有點不配，但是我希望做的工作就是以本著非常卑謙的態(tài)度來對待這個事情。那就是他們這個諾貝爾提名委員會對于美國所發(fā)生的變化以及美國對世界的態(tài)度所發(fā)生的變化受到了啟發(fā)，所以他們把獎項頒發(fā)給了我，不過我只是對我們對世界態(tài)度的變化的一個象征而已。[13:54:13] PRESIDENT OBAMA: Thank you.That was an excellent question.I have to say that nobody was more surprised than me about winning the Nobel Prize for Peace.Obviously it's a great honor.I don't believe necessarily that it's an honor I deserve, given the extraordinary history of people who have won the prize.All I can do is to, with great humility, accept the fact that I think the committee was inspired by the American people and the possibilities of changing not only America but also America's approach to the world.And so in some ways I think they gave me the prize but I was more just a symbol of the shift in our approach to world affairs that we are trying to promote.[奧巴馬] 我感到這是一種殊榮——能夠成為美國總統(tǒng)。正如我夫人經(jīng)常提醒我說的，有時候我抱怨工作太忙了，她經(jīng)常提醒我說：你是自己找的這份工作。英文里說你自己鋪了床你只好自己到里面去睡覺。這個意思就是說有時候你要想得到什么東西真要小心一點，你真有可能得到這份東西，我認(rèn)為我們每個人要在世界上促進(jìn)我們的和平，做到這一點并不容易。[13:54:21] In terms of the burden that I feel, I am extraordinarily honored to be put in the position of President.And as my wife always reminds me when I complain that I'm working too hard, she says, you volunteered for this job.(Laughter.)And so you--there's a saying--I don't know if there's a similar saying in China--we have a saying: “You made your bed, now you have to sleep in it.” And it basically means you have to be careful what you ask for because you might get it.I think that all of us have obligations for trying to promote peace in the world.It's not always easy to do.[奧巴馬] 現(xiàn)在世界上有很多沖突，這些沖突有數(shù)百年的歷史，比如你看看中東的情況，這些戰(zhàn)爭和沖突他們來源于一千年以前的斗爭，比如在非洲有部落的沖突，這都很難得到解決，作為美國總統(tǒng)，我的工作之一是我們美國武裝力量的總指揮，我的當(dāng)務(wù)之急首先要做的就是保護(hù)美國人民，由于9?11發(fā)生的襲擊事件，以及世界各地的恐怖事件造成無辜人的死亡，我有這樣的任務(wù)就是要根除這些恐怖主義組織，要和很多國家進(jìn)行合作來應(yīng)付這種恐怖暴力。當(dāng)然，我想我們不可能完全杜絕國與人以及國與國之間的暴力，但是我們可以大大減少這些暴力。這個做法就是通過交流、通過對話，通過加深人與人、文化與文化之間的理解來做到這一點。[13:54:27] There are still a lot of conflicts in the world that are--date back for centuries.If you look at the Middle East, there are wars and conflict that are rooted in arguments going back a thousand years.In many parts of the world--let's say, in the continent of Africa--there are ethnic and tribal conflicts that are very hard to resolve.And obviously, right now, as President of the United States, part of my job is to serve as Commander-in-Chief, and my first priority is to protect the American people.And because of the attacks on 9/11 and the terrorism that has been taking place around the world where innocent people are being killed, it is my obligation to make sure that we root out these terrorist organizations, and that we cooperate with other countries in terms of dealing with this kind of violence.Nevertheless, although I don't think that we can ever completely eliminate violence between nations or between peoples, I think that we can definitely reduce the violence between peoples--through dialogue, through the exchange of ideas, through greater understanding between peoples and between cultures.奧巴馬] 此時此刻，一個人可以引爆炸彈，帶來很大的破壞。因此，我們要實行這種和平的策略就變得更加重要了。技術(shù)可以造福于人，但是也可以使這些少數(shù)人造成巨大的破壞。正因如此，我希望在我跟胡主席的會談中，以及今后進(jìn)行的會談中，美國和中國可以共同合作來共同減少我們在世界各地所看到的沖突。同時，我們還要牢記這樣一個事實，當(dāng)我們動用軍事力量的時候，因為我們是大國、強(qiáng)國，我們自己要三思而行，我們要看看自己有什么動機(jī)，有什么利益來確保我們不僅僅由于別人管不了我們我們就動輒使用我們的軍力，而這些大國要在世界之林中本著負(fù)責(zé)任的做法采取行動才行，我希望美國和中國能夠共同地幫助建立國際事務(wù)準(zhǔn)則以減少世界各地的沖突。[13:54:34] And particularly now when just one individual can detonate a bomb that causes so much destruction, it is more important than ever that we pursue these strategies for peace.Technology is a powerful instrument for good, but it has also given the possibility for just a few people to cause enormous damage.And that's why I'm hopeful that in my meetings with President Hu and on an ongoing basis, both the United States and China can work together to try to reduce conflicts that are taking place.We have to do so, though, also keeping in mind that when we use our military, because we're such big and strong countries, that we have to be self-reflective about what we do;that we have to examine our own motives and our own interests to make sure that we are not simply using our military forces because nobody can stop us.That's a burden that great countries, great powers, have, is to act responsibly in the community of nations.And my hope is, is that the United States and China together can help to create an international norms that reduce conflict around the world.(Applause.)[奧巴馬] 好吧，我現(xiàn)在請我的洪大使，現(xiàn)在有一個網(wǎng)民通過我們使館網(wǎng)站提了一個問題。[13:54:43] Okay.All right? Jon--I'm going to call on my Ambassador because I think he has a question that was generated through the Web site of our embassy.This was selected, though, by I think one of the members of our U.S.press corps so that –.

2009年11月16日, 首次訪華的美國總統(tǒng)奧巴馬在上海科技博物館與數(shù)百名中國學(xué)生對話，在對話前，奧巴馬發(fā)表了演講。以下為奧巴馬演講的中英文對照全文。

標(biāo)記的表達(dá)和段落均為漢語部分，請大家重點掌握。這篇文章除了作為聽力、口譯練習(xí)材料之外，希望大家能夠從標(biāo)記的我們可以從漢語著手進(jìn)行back-translation練習(xí)，因此，這也是筆譯練習(xí)的很好素材。

PRESIDENT OBAMA: Good afternoon.It is a great honor for me to be here in Shanghai, and to have this opportunity to speak with all of you.I'd like to thank Fudan University's President Yang for his hospitality and his gracious welcome.I'd also like to thank our outstanding Ambassador, Jon Huntsman, who exemplifies the deep ties and respect between our nations.I don't know what he said, but I hope it was good.(Laughter.)

奧巴馬總統(tǒng)：你們好。能夠有機(jī)會在上海跟你們大家交談，我深感榮幸。我要感謝復(fù)旦大學(xué)的楊校長，感謝他的款待和熱情的歡迎。我還要感謝我們出色的大使洪博培，他代表了我們兩國之間的深遠(yuǎn)聯(lián)系和相互尊重。我不知道他剛才說什么，但是希望他說得不錯。（笑聲）

What I'd like to do is to make some opening comments, and then what I'm really looking forward to doing is taking questions, not only from students who are in the audience, but also we've received questions online, which will be asked by some of the students who are here in the audience, as well as by Ambassador Huntsman.And I am very sorry that my Chinese is not as good as your English, but I am looking forward to this chance to have a dialogue.我今天準(zhǔn)備先做一個開場白，但我真正希望做的是回答問題，不但回答在座的學(xué)生提出的問題，同時也回答從網(wǎng)上提出的一些問題，這些問題由在座的一些學(xué)生和洪博培大使代為提出。很抱歉，我的中文不如你們的英文，但我期待著這個和你們對話的機(jī)會。

This is my first time traveling to China, and I'm excited to see this majestic country.Here, in Shanghai, we see the growth that has caught the attention of the world--the soaring skyscrapers, the bustling streets and entrepreneurial activity.And just as I'm impressed by these signs of China's journey to the 21st century, I'm eager to see those ancient places that speak to us from China's distant past.Tomorrow and the next day I hope to have a chance when I'm in Beijing to see the majesty of the Forbidden City and the wonder of the Great Wall.Truly, this is a nation that encompasses both a rich history and a belief in the promise of the future.這是我首次訪問中國，看到你們壯麗的國家，我感到很興奮。在上海，我們看到了全球矚目的發(fā)展——高聳的大廈、繁忙的街道、創(chuàng)業(yè)的動態(tài)。這些都是中國步入21世紀(jì)的跡象，讓我感到贊嘆。同時，我也期盼看到向我們展現(xiàn)中國悠久歷史的古跡。明天和后天我會在北京，希望有機(jī)會看到壯觀的故宮和奇跡般的長城。的確，這是一個既有豐富的歷史，又對未來的希望充滿信心的國家。

The same can be said of the relationship between our two countries.Shanghai, of course, is a city that has great meaning in the history of the relationship between the United States and China.It was here, 37 years ago, that the Shanghai Communique opened the door to a new chapter of engagement between our governments and among our people.However, America's ties to this city--and to this country--stretch back further, to the earliest days of America's independence.我們兩國的關(guān)系也是如此。毫無疑問，上海在美中關(guān)系史上是一個具有重大意義的城市。正是在這里，37年前發(fā)布的《上海公報》（Shanghai Communique）開啟了我們兩國政府和兩國人民接觸交往的新篇章。然而，美國與這個城市以及這個國家的紐帶可以追溯到更久遠(yuǎn)的過去，直至美國獨(dú)立初期。

In 1784, our founding father, George Washington, commissioned the Empress of China, a ship that set sail for these shores so that it could pursue trade with the Qing Dynasty.Washington wanted to see the ship carry the flag around the globe, and to forge new ties with nations like China.This is a common American

impulse--the desire to reach for new horizons, and to forge new partnerships that are mutually beneficial.1784年，我們的建國之父喬治·華盛頓主持了“中國女皇號”（Empress of China）的下水儀式。這條船前往中國海岸，尋求與清朝通商。華盛頓希望看到這條懸掛美國國旗的船前往世界各地，與像中國這樣的國家締結(jié)新的紐帶。這是通常的美國人的愿望——希望達(dá)到新的地平線，建立新的、互利的伙伴關(guān)系。

Over the two centuries that have followed, the currents of history have steered the relationship between our countries in many directions.And even in the midst of tumultuous winds, our people had opportunities to forge deep and even dramatic ties.For instance, Americans will never forget the hospitality shown

to our pilots who were shot down over your soil during World War II, and cared for by Chinese civilians who risked all that they had by doing so.And Chinese veterans of that war still warmly greet those American veterans who return to the sites where they fought to help liberate China from occupation.在此后的兩個世紀(jì)中，歷史洪流使我們兩國關(guān)系向許多不同的方向發(fā)展，但即使在動蕩的歲月中，兩國人民也抓住機(jī)會發(fā)展了深入的、甚至極不平凡的關(guān)系。例如，美國人民永遠(yuǎn)不會忘記，二戰(zhàn)期間，美國飛行員在中國上空被擊落后，中國公民冒著失去一切的危險護(hù)理他們。參加過二戰(zhàn)的中國老兵仍然熱情歡迎故地重游的美國老兵，他們曾經(jīng)在那里作戰(zhàn)，幫助中國從占領(lǐng)下獲得解放。

A different kind of connection was made nearly 40 years ago when the frost between our countries began to thaw through the simple game of table tennis.The very unlikely nature of this engagement contributed to its success--because for all our differences, both our common humanity and our shared curiosity were revealed.As one American player described his visit to China--“[The]people are just like us?The country is very similar to America, but still very different.”

近40年前，簡單的乒乓球比賽帶來了兩國關(guān)系的解凍，使我們兩國建立起另一種聯(lián)系。這種接觸令人意外，但卻恰恰促成了其成功，因為盡管我們之間存在許多分歧，但是我們共同的人性和共同的好奇心得以從中顯現(xiàn)。正如一位美國乒乓球隊員在回憶對中國的訪問時所說：“那里的人民和我們一樣??這個國家和美國有許多相似之處，也有很大區(qū)別。”

Of course this small opening was followed by the achievement of the Shanghai Communique, and the eventual establishment of formal relations between the United States and China in 1979.And in three decades, just look at how far we have come.do not give up util you win TOP

無須贅言，這個小小的契機(jī)帶來了《上海公報》的問世，并最終促使美中兩國在1979年建立正式外交關(guān)系。請看在此后的30年，我們?nèi)〉昧硕嗝撮L足的進(jìn)展。

In 1979, trade between the United States and China stood at roughly $5 billion--today it tops over $400 billion each year.The commerce affects our people's lives in so many ways.America imports from China many of the computer parts we use, the clothes we wear;and we export to China machinery that helps power your industry.This trade could create even more jobs on both sides of the Pacific, while allowing our people to enjoy a better quality of life.And as demand becomes more balanced, it can lead to even broader prosperity.1979年，美中貿(mào)易額約為50億美元，今天，貿(mào)易額已經(jīng)超過4000億美元。貿(mào)易在許多方面影響著兩國人民的生活，美國電腦中的許多元件以及我們身穿的服裝都是從中國進(jìn)口的，我們向中國出口你們的工業(yè)需要的機(jī)器。這種貿(mào)易可以在太平洋兩岸創(chuàng)造更多的就業(yè)機(jī)會，讓我們的人民過上質(zhì)量更高的生活。隨著需求趨于平衡，繁榮的范圍將進(jìn)一步擴(kuò)大。

In 1979, the political cooperation between the United States and China was rooted largely in our shared rivalry with the Soviet Union.Today, we have a positive, constructive and comprehensive relationship that opens the door to partnership on the key global issues of our time--economic recovery and the development of clean energy;stopping the spread of nuclear weapons and the scourge of climate change;the promotion of peace and security in Asia and around the globe.All of these issues will be on the agenda tomorrow when I

meet with President Hu.1979年，美中之間的政治合作主要立足于雙方共同面對的競爭對手蘇聯(lián)。如今我們享有積極的、建設(shè)性的、全面的關(guān)系，為我們在當(dāng)今時代的關(guān)鍵性全球問題上建立伙伴關(guān)系打開了大門，這些問題包括：經(jīng)濟(jì)復(fù)蘇和清潔能源開發(fā)、制止核武器擴(kuò)散和氣候變化的影響、在亞洲及全球各地促進(jìn)和平與安全。所有這些問題都是我明天與胡主席會談的內(nèi)容。

And in 1979, the connections among our people were limited.Today, we see the curiosity of those ping-pong players manifested in the ties that are being forged across many sectors.The second highest number of foreign students in the United States come from China, and we've seen a 50 percent increase in the study of Chinese among our own students.There are nearly 200 “friendship cities” drawing our communities together.American and Chinese scientists cooperate on new research and discovery.And of course, Yao Ming is just one signal of our shared love of basketball--I'm only sorry that I won't be able to see a Shanghai Sharks game while I'm visiting.1979年，我們兩國人民的聯(lián)系十分有限。今天，我們看到當(dāng)年乒乓球隊員的好奇心已經(jīng)化為許多領(lǐng)域的紐帶，中國留學(xué)生在美國的人數(shù)名列第二，而在美國學(xué)生中，學(xué)中文的人數(shù)增加了50%。我們兩國有近200個友好城市，把我們的社區(qū)連接在一起。美中科學(xué)家合作進(jìn)行新的研究與發(fā)現(xiàn)。而姚明是我們兩國人民都熱愛籃球的僅僅一個標(biāo)志而已——令我遺憾的是，此行中我不能觀看上海大鯊魚隊的比賽。

It is no coincidence that the relationship between our countries has accompanied a period of positive change.China has lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty--an accomplishment unparalleled in human history--while playing a larger role in global events.And the United States has seen our economy grow along with the standard of living enjoyed by our people, while bringing the Cold War to a successful conclusion.我們兩國之間的關(guān)系相伴著一個積極變化的時期，這不是偶然的。中國實現(xiàn)了億萬人民脫貧，這一成就史無前例，同時，中國在全球問題中也在發(fā)揮更大的作用。美國在促使冷戰(zhàn)順利結(jié)束的同時，經(jīng)濟(jì)也取得了增長，人民的生活水平提高。

There is a Chinese proverb: “Consider the past, and you shall know the future.” Surely, we have known setbacks and challenges over the last 30 years.Our relationship has not been without disagreement and difficulty.But the notion that we must be adversaries is not predestined--not when we consider the past.Indeed, because of our cooperation, both the United States and China are more prosperous and more secure.We have seen what is possible when we build upon our mutual interests, and engage on the basis of mutual respect.中國有句名言：“溫故而知新?！碑?dāng)然，過去30年中我們也曾遇到挫折和挑戰(zhàn)，我們的關(guān)系不是沒有分歧和困難。但是，“我們必然是對手”的概念并非是注定不變的——回顧過去不會是這樣。由于我們的合作，美中兩國都更加繁榮、更加安全。我們已經(jīng)看到我們本著共同的利益和相互的尊重去努力所能取得的成果。

And yet the success of that engagement depends upon understanding--on sustaining an open dialogue, and learning about one another and from one another.For just as that American table tennis player pointed out--we share much in common as human beings, but our countries are different in certain ways.可是，這種接觸的成功取決于理解，取決于繼續(xù)進(jìn)行開誠布公的對話，相互了解，相互學(xué)習(xí)。正如前面提到的那位美國乒乓球隊員所說——作為人，我們有著許多共同之處，但是我們兩國在某些方面存在著差別。

I believe that each country must chart its own course.China is an ancient nation, with a deeply rooted culture.The United States, by comparison, is a young nation, whose culture is determined by the many different immigrants who have come to our shores, and by the founding documents that guide our democracy.Those documents put forward a simple vision of human affairs, and they enshrine several core principles--that all men and women are created equal, and possess certain fundamental rights;that government should reflect the will of the people and respond to their wishes;that commerce should be open, information

freely accessible;and that laws, and not simply men, should guarantee the administration of justice.我認(rèn)為每個國家都必須規(guī)劃自己的前進(jìn)方向。中國是一個文明古國，文化深遠(yuǎn)。而美國相對而言是一個年輕的國家，它的文化由來自許多不同國家的移民以及指導(dǎo)我國民主制度的建國綱領(lǐng)所形成。這些綱領(lǐng)中提出了對人類事務(wù)的簡單明了的矚望，并包含了一些核心原則——不論男女人人生而平等，都享有某些基本權(quán)利；政府應(yīng)當(dāng)反映民意，并對人民的愿望作出回應(yīng)；商貿(mào)應(yīng)該是開放的，信息應(yīng)該自由流通；司法保障應(yīng)該來自法治而不是人治。

Of course, the story of our nation is not without its difficult chapters.In many ways--over many years--we have struggled to advance the promise of these principles to all of our people, and to forge a more perfect union.We fought a very painful civil war, and freed a portion of our population from slavery.It took time for women to be extended the right to vote, workers to win the right to organize, and for immigrants from different corners of the globe to be fully embraced.Even after they were freed, African Americans persevered through conditions that were separate and not equal, before winning full and equal rights.當(dāng)然，我國的歷史也并非沒有困難的篇章。在很多方面，在很長的時間里，我們要通過斗爭去實現(xiàn)這些原則對全體人民的承諾，締造一個更趨完善的聯(lián)邦。我們曾打過一場很痛苦的南北戰(zhàn)爭，將我國的一部分人口從奴役下解放出來。婦女獲得投票權(quán)、勞工贏得組織權(quán)、來自世界各地的移民得到完全的接納——這些都是經(jīng)過了一段時間才實現(xiàn)的。非洲裔美國人即使在獲得自由后依然生活在被隔離和不平等的條件下，他們經(jīng)過不懈努力才最終贏得全面、平等的權(quán)利。

None of this was easy.But we made progress because of our belief in those core principles, which have served as our compass through the darkest of storms.That is why Lincoln could stand up in the midst of civil war and declare it a struggle to see whether any nation, conceived in liberty, and “dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal” could long endure.That is why Dr.Martin Luther King could stand on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and ask that our nation live out the true meaning of its creed.That's why immigrants from China to Kenya could find a home on our shores;why opportunity is available to all who would work for it;and why someone like me, who less than 50 years ago would have had trouble voting in some parts of America, is now able to serve as its President.所有這些都不曾輕而易舉。但是，由于我們對這些核心原則的堅定信念，我們?nèi)〉昧诉M(jìn)步，這些原則指引我們沖過了最黑暗的風(fēng)暴。這就是為什么林肯能在南北戰(zhàn)爭中挺身而出并宣布，這是一場考驗一個孕育于自由之中、“忠實于人人生而平等這一原則”的國家能否永存的斗爭。這也就是為什么馬丁·路德·金博士能夠站立在林肯紀(jì)念堂的臺階上，要求我們的國家實踐自身信仰的真正含義。這也就是為什么來自從中國到肯尼亞的各國移民能夠在我國的土地上安家；為什么所有努力尋求機(jī)會的人都能獲得機(jī)會；為什么像我這種在不到50年前在美國的某些地方連投票都遇到困難的人，現(xiàn)在能夠出任這個國家的總統(tǒng)。

And that is why America will always speak out for these core principles around the world.We do not seek to impose any system of government on any other nation, but we also don't believe that the principles that we stand for are unique to our nation.These freedoms of expression and worship--of access to information and political participation--we believe are universal rights.They should be available to all people, including ethnic and religious minorities--whether they are in the United States, China, or any nation.Indeed, it is that respect for universal rights that guides America's openness to other countries;our respect for different cultures;our commitment to international law;and our faith in the future.這就是為什么美國一直在全世界為這些核心原則而大聲疾呼。我們不尋求把任何政治體制強(qiáng)加給任何別的國家，但是我們也不認(rèn)為我們主張的這些原則是我們國家所獨(dú)有的。表達(dá)自由和宗教信仰自由——獲得信息和政治參與的自由——我們認(rèn)為這些自由都是普世的權(quán)利，所有人都應(yīng)當(dāng)享有，包括少數(shù)民族和宗教少數(shù)派，不管是在美國、中國還是在任何其他國家。正是對普世權(quán)利的尊重指導(dǎo)著美國向其他國家開放，尊重各種不同的文化，致力于遵守國際法，并對未來抱有信念。

These are all things that you should know about America.I also know that we have much to learn about China.Looking around at this magnificent city--and looking around this room--I do believe that our nations hold something important in common, and that is a belief in the future.Neither the United States nor China is content to rest on our achievements.For while China is an ancient nation, you are also clearly looking ahead with confidence, ambition, and a commitment to see that tomorrow's generation can do better than today's.這些都是你們應(yīng)當(dāng)了解的美國的情況。我也知道中國有很多有待我們了解的情況。環(huán)顧一下這座偉大的城市——環(huán)顧一下這個大廳——我確信我們兩個國家有一個很重要的共同點，那就是我們對未來的信念。美國和中國都不想滿足于已取得的成就，止步不前。雖然中國是一個古老的國家，但你們顯然也對未來滿懷信心、雄心和使年輕一代能比這一代人更有作為的決心。

In addition to your growing economy, we admire China's extraordinary commitment to science and research--a commitment borne out in everything from the infrastructure you build to the technology you use.China is now the world's largest Internet user--which is why we were so pleased to include the Internet as a part of today's event.This country now has the world's largest mobile phone network, and it is investing in the new forms of energy that can both sustain growth and combat climate change--and I'm looking forward to deepening the partnership between the United States and China in this critical area tomorrow.But above all, I see China's future in you--young people whose talent and dedication and dreams will do so much to help shape the 21st century.我們不但欽佩中國日益增長的經(jīng)濟(jì)，還贊賞你們在科學(xué)研究方面極不平凡的努力——從你們建設(shè)的基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施到你們使用的技術(shù)，均體現(xiàn)出這種努力。中國現(xiàn)在是世界上最大的互聯(lián)網(wǎng)使用國——這也是我們今天很高興能把互聯(lián)網(wǎng)作為此次活動的一部分的原因。這個國家目前擁有世界上最大的移動電話網(wǎng)絡(luò)，它正在投資發(fā)展既能維持可持續(xù)增長，又能應(yīng)對氣候變化的新型能源——我期待著明天在這個至關(guān)重要的領(lǐng)域中深化兩國的合作關(guān)系。然而，最重要的是，我在你們身上看到了中國的未來 ——年輕一代的聰明才智、獻(xiàn)身精神和夢想將為塑造21世紀(jì)發(fā)揮巨大作用。

I've said many times that I believe that our world is now fundamentally interconnected.The jobs we do, the prosperity we build, the environment we protect, the security that we seek--all of these things are shared.And given that interconnection, power in the 21st century is no longer a zero-sum game;one country's success need not come at the expense of another.And that is why the United States insists we do not seek to contain China's rise.On the contrary, we welcome China as a strong and prosperous and successful member of the community of nations--a China that draws on the rights, strengths, and creativity of individual Chinese like you.我已說過多次，我相信我們現(xiàn)在的世界是緊密相連的。我們所做的工作，我們所建設(shè)的繁榮，我們所保護(hù)的環(huán)境，以及我們所尋求的安全——所有這一切都是共有的。鑒于這種相互聯(lián)系，在21世紀(jì)，權(quán)力不應(yīng)再成為一場零和游戲；一國的成功發(fā)展不應(yīng)以他國為代價。這也就是為什么美國堅決表示我們不謀求遏制中國的崛起。恰恰相反，我們歡迎中國成為國際社會中一個強(qiáng)大、繁榮、成功的成員——一個從你們這樣的每個中國人的權(quán)利、實力和創(chuàng)造力中獲得力量的中國。

To return to the proverb--consider the past.We know that more is to be gained when great powers cooperate than when they collide.That is a lesson that human beings have learned time and again, and that is the example of the history between our nations.And I believe strongly that cooperation must go beyond our government.It must be rooted in our people--in the studies we share, the business that we do, the knowledge that we gain, and even in the sports that we play.And these bridges must be built by young men and women just like you and your counterparts in America.回到前面提到的那句古語——回顧過去。我們知道，大國之間選擇合作而非對抗會帶來更大的惠益。這是人類不斷汲取的一個教訓(xùn)，我們兩國的關(guān)系史中也不乏其例。我深信，合作必須不止于政府間的合作。合作必須植根于我們的人民——植根于我們共同進(jìn)行的研究，我們的商貿(mào)活動，我們所學(xué)到的知識，乃至我們的體育運(yùn)動。這些橋梁必須由你們這樣的年輕人和美國的年輕人共同構(gòu)筑。

That's why I'm pleased to announce that the United States will dramatically expand the number of our students who study in China to 100,000.And these exchanges mark a clear commitment to build ties among our people, as surely as you will help determine the destiny of the 21st century.And I'm absolutelyconfident that America has no better ambassadors to offer than our young people.For they, just like you, are filled with talent and energy and optimism about the history that is yet to be written.因此，我高興地宣布，美國準(zhǔn)備將在中國留學(xué)的美國學(xué)生人數(shù)大幅度增加到10萬人。這種交流是對在我們兩國人民之間建立聯(lián)系的明確承諾，毫無疑問，你們將幫助決定21世紀(jì)的命運(yùn)。我完全相信，對美國來說，再好的使者莫過于我們的年輕人。因為他們和你們一樣，才華橫溢，充滿活力，對有待書寫的歷史篇章充滿樂觀。

So let this be the next step in the steady pursuit of cooperation that will serve our nations, and the world.And if there's one thing that we can take from today's dialogue, I hope that it is a commitment to continue this dialogue going forward.那么，就讓這個舉措成為我們穩(wěn)步尋求合作的下一個步驟，這種合作有利于我們兩國乃至整個世界。如果能從今天的對話中得到一點啟示的話，我希望那就是致力于今后繼續(xù)進(jìn)行這種對話。

So thank you very much.And I look forward now to taking some questions from all of you.Thank you very much.(Applause.)

非常感謝諸位。現(xiàn)在我希望回答你們大家提出的一些問題。非常感謝。（掌聲。）

第四篇：美國總統(tǒng)奧巴馬在死難礦工追悼會上的講話（范文模版）

美國總統(tǒng)奧巴馬在死難礦工追悼會上的講話

(張少軍譯、校)

對那罹難礦工的所有摯愛親人，對所有稱他們?yōu)榕笥选⑴c他們在井下并肩工作的礦工或熟識他們的鄰居——在蒙特礦、諾瑪或是白鎮(zhèn)，在煤河谷，在整個西弗吉尼亞。首先我想告訴大家，在這些艱難的日子里我們一直和你們一樣為我們失去的礦工哀悼，我們的心情和你們一樣悲痛，我們時刻牽掛著在醫(yī)院在家里治療、康復(fù)的幸存者。我們感謝救援隊伍。我們的心和你們一起疼痛。

我們在這里，懷念29位美國人：卡爾?阿克德、杰森?阿金斯、克里斯多佛?貝爾、格利高里?史蒂文?布洛克、肯尼斯?艾倫?查普曼、羅伯特?克拉克、查爾斯?蒂莫西?戴維斯、克里?戴維斯、邁克爾?李?埃爾斯維克、威廉?I.格里菲斯、史蒂文?哈拉、愛德華?迪恩?瓊斯、理查德.K.雷恩、威廉姆.羅斯威爾特.林奇、尼古拉斯.達(dá)利爾.麥考斯基、喬.馬克姆、羅納德.李.梅爾、詹姆斯.E.姆尼、亞當(dāng).基斯.摩根、雷克斯.L.姆林斯、喬什.S.納皮爾、霍華德.D.佩恩、迪拉德.厄爾.波辛格、喬爾.R.普萊斯、迪華德.斯科特、加里.考拉斯、格羅佛.戴爾.斯金斯、本尼.威靈漢姆以及里奇?沃克曼?！?/p>

無論我、副總統(tǒng)、州長，或是今天致詞的任何人，我們說的任何話，都不能填補(bǔ)因他們的離去在你們心中留下的黑洞，都不能填補(bǔ)因他們的缺席在你們生活中留下的空白。如果有任何可以找得到的安慰，也許只能從仰望上帝的容顏時找到——那安定我們痛苦的思緒，修復(fù)我們破碎的心，撫慰我們悲痛的靈魂的上帝。

盡管我們在哀悼這29個逝去的生命，我們同樣也要紀(jì)念這29個曾活在世間的生命。凌晨4點半起床，最遲5點，他們就開始了他們在黑暗中工作的一天。穿著工作服和硬頭靴，頭戴安全帽，靜坐著開始一小時的路程，鉆進(jìn)一座大山的五英里深處，唯一的光亮是他們安全帽上的礦燈，或是他們乘坐的人力運(yùn)送車（在鐵軌上）擦出的火花。

日復(fù)一日，他們向煤層掘進(jìn)，這是他們勞動的果實，被我們習(xí)以為常地享用的恩賜：照亮一個會議中心的電能；點亮我們教堂或家園、學(xué)校、辦公室的燈光；讓我們國家運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)的能源；讓世界維持的能源。

大多數(shù)日子，他們從黑暗的礦井里探出頭，瞇著眼盯著光亮。大多數(shù)日子，他們從礦里探出身子，滿是汗水和污垢和煤灰。大多數(shù)日子，他們能夠回家。但不是那天。

這些人，這些丈夫、父親、祖父、弟兄、兒子、叔舅、侄甥，他們從事這份工作時，不是不知道其中的風(fēng)險。他們中的一些人已經(jīng)負(fù)傷，一些人眼見朋友受傷。所以，他們知道有風(fēng)險。他們的家人也知道。他們知道，在夜晚自己離去之前，孩子會為他們祈禱。他們知道妻子在焦急等待自己升上井口時通報“一切安好”的電話。他們知道，每當(dāng)緊急新聞播出，或是廣播電臺突然插播新聞，他們的父母都會感到恐懼的悲痛。

但他們還是離開家園，來到礦里。他們中的一些人畢生期盼成為礦工，渴望踏上他們父輩祖輩走過的道路。然而，他們這樣做并不只是為了他們自己。

那所有的困難工作，那所有的巨大艱辛，那所有在地底下度過的時光，都為了家人，都為了你們，為自己車道上有一輛車，為頭上有一處屋頂能遮蔽風(fēng)雨，為給他們的孩子一個機(jī)會去獲得他們自己將無從了解的更好的境遇，為了日后享受與伴侶的退休生活——所有這些都是希望能有更好的生活。就這樣，為了追尋美國夢，這些礦工生死以之。

在礦里，為了他們的親人，他們自己組成了“家庭”：慶祝彼此的生日，一同休憩，一同看“山地人”隊橄欖球或籃球，一同度假、打獵或釣魚。正如他們的一個姐妹說的那樣，他們可能不總是喜歡他們所做的事情，但他們喜歡“一起做”的感覺。他們喜歡像一個家庭那樣去做這些事。他們喜歡像一個社區(qū)一樣去做這些事。

這也是幾乎每個美國人都熟知的一首歌里表達(dá)的精神。我想，讓大多數(shù)人驚訝的是這首歌實際是一名煤礦工人的兒子所寫，關(guān)于貝克利這個小鎮(zhèn)的，關(guān)于西弗吉尼亞人民的。這首歌曲，“靠著我”（Lean on Me）：一首友誼的頌歌，也是一首社區(qū)和團(tuán)結(jié)的頌歌。

災(zāi)難發(fā)生的幾分鐘，幾小時，幾日之后，這個社區(qū)始終被外界關(guān)注。搜救者，冒著風(fēng)險在充滿甲烷和一氧化碳的狹窄巷道里搜尋，抱著一線希望去發(fā)現(xiàn)哪怕一位幸存者。朋友們打開門廊的燈守夜，掛起自制的標(biāo)語，上面寫著：“為我們的礦工和他們的家人祈禱。”鄰居們彼此安慰，守望相助。

我看到了，這就是社區(qū)的力量。在災(zāi)難隨后的幾天，電子郵件和信件涌入白 2 宮。郵戳來自全國各地，他們通常以同樣的方式開頭：“我很驕傲來自一個礦工的家庭?！薄拔沂且幻V工的兒子?！薄拔液茏院牢沂且幻旱V工人的女兒?！??他們都感到自豪，他們讓我關(guān)心我們的礦工，為他們祈禱。他們說，不要忘了，礦工維持著美國的光明。在這些信件里，他們提出一個簡單的要求：不要再讓這種事情發(fā)生。不要再讓這種事情發(fā)生。

我們怎能讓他們失望？一個依賴礦工的國家怎能不盡全力去保護(hù)他們？我們的國家怎能容忍任何人僅僅因為工作僅僅因為追求美國夢而置他們的生命于危險之中？

我們不能讓29個逝去的生命回來。他們此刻與主同在。我們在這塵世的任務(wù)，就是防止再有生命在這樣的悲劇中逝去。去做我們必須做的，無論個人或是集體，去確保礦下的安全，向他們對待彼此那樣對待我們的礦工，如同一家人。因為我們是一家人，我們都是美國人。我們必須彼此依靠，彼此照顧，彼此愛護(hù)，為彼此祈福。

今天，我想起一首圣歌，我想起一首圣歌，我們悲痛時往往會想起這首歌： “雖然我走過死亡的陰影籠罩的山谷，我將心無所懼，因你與我同在。你的杖，你的竿，都在撫慰我?！?/p>

上帝保佑我們的礦工。上帝保佑他們的家人。上帝保佑西弗吉尼亞。上帝保佑美國。

President Obama: To all the families who loved so deeply the miners we've lost;to all who called them friends, worked alongside them in the mines, or knew them as neighbors, in Montcoal and Naoma, or Whitesville, in the Coal River Valley and across West Virginia--let me begin by saying that we have been mourning with you throughout these difficult days.Our hearts have been aching with you.We keep our thoughts with the survivors who are recovering and resting at the hospital and at the homes.We're thankful for the rescue teams.But our hearts ache alongside you.We’re here to memorialize 29 Americans: Carl Acord.Jason Atkins.Christopher Bell.Gregory Steven Brock.Kenneth Allan Chapman.Robert Clark.Charles Timothy Davis.Cory Davis.Michael Lee Elswick.William I.Griffith.Steven Harrah.Edward Dean Jones.Richard K.Lane.William Roosevelt Lynch.Nicholas Darrell McCroskey.Joe Marcum.Ronald Lee Maynor.James E.Mooney.Adam Keith Morgan.Rex L.Mullins.Joshua S.Napper.Howard D.Payne.Dillard Earl Persinger.Joel R.Price.Deward Scott.Gary Quarles.Grover Dale Skeens.Benny Willingham And Ricky Workman.Nothing I, or the Vice President, or the Governor, none of the speakers here today, nothing we say can fill the hole they leave in your hearts, or the absence that they leave in your lives.If any comfort can be found, it can, perhaps, be found by seeking the face of God--(applause)--who quiets our troubled minds, a God who mends our broken hearts, a God who eases our mourning souls.Even as we mourn 29 lives lost, we also remember 29 lives lived.Up at 4:30 a.m., 5:00 in the morning at the latest, they began their day, as they worked, in darkness.In coveralls and hard-toe boots, a hardhat over their heads, they would sit quietly for their hour-long journey, five miles into a mountain, the only light the lamp on their caps, or the glow from the mantrip they rode in.Day after day, they would burrow into the coal, the fruits of their labor, what so often we take for granted: the electricity that lights up a convention center;that lights up our church or our home, our school, our office;the energy that powers our country;the energy that powers the world.(Applause.)

And most days they’d emerge from the dark mine, squinting at the light.Most days, they’d emerge, sweaty and dirty and dusted from coal.Most days, they’d come home.But not that day.These men-– these husbands, fathers, grandfathers, brothers sons, uncles, nephews-– they did not take on their job unaware of the perils.Some of them had already been injured;some of them had seen a friend get hurt.So they understood there were risks.And their families did, too.They knew their kids would say a prayer at night before they left.They knew their wives would wait for a call when their shift ended saying everything was okay.They knew their parents felt a pang of fear every time a breaking news alert came on, or the radio cut in.But they left for the mines anyway-– some, having waited all their lives to be miners;having longed to follow in the footsteps of their fathers and their grandfathers.And yet, none of them did it for themselves alone.All that hard work, all that hardship, all the time spent underground, it was all for the families.It was all for you.For a car in the driveway, a roof overhead.For a chance to give their kids opportunities that they would never know, and enjoy retirement with their spouses.It was all in the hopes of something better.And so these miners lived-– as they died-– in pursuit of the American Dream.There, in the mines, for their families, they became a family themselves-– sharing birthdays, relaxing together, watching Mountaineers football or basketball together, spending days off together, hunting or fishing.They may not have always loved what they did, said a sister, but they loved doing it together.They loved doing it as a family.They loved doing it as a community.That’s a spirit that’s reflected in a song that almost every American knows.But it’s a song most people, I think, would be surprised was actually written by a coal miner’s son about this town, Beckley, about the people of West Virginia.It’s the song, Lean on Me-– an anthem of friendship, but also an anthem of community, of coming together.That community was revealed for all to see in the minutes, and hours, and days after the tragedy.Rescuers, risking their own safety, scouring narrow tunnels saturated with methane and carbon monoxide, hoping against hope they might find a survivor.Friends keeping porch lights on in a nightly vigil;hanging up homemade signs that read, “Pray for our miners, and their families.” Neighbors consoling each other, and supporting each other and leaning on one another.I’ve seen it, the strength of that community.In the days that followed the disaster, emails and letters poured into the White House.Postmarked from different places across the country, they often began the same way: “I am proud to be from a family of miners.” “I am the son of a coal miner.” “I am proud to be a coal miner’s daughter.”(Applause.)They were always proud, and they asked me to keep our miners in my thoughts, in my prayers.Never forget, they say, miners keep America’s lights on.(Applause.)And then in these letters, they make a simple plea: Don’t let this happen again.(Applause.)Don't let this happen again.How can we fail them? How can a nation that relies on its miners not do everything in its power to protect them? How can we let anyone in this country put their lives at risk by simply showing up to work;by simply pursuing the American Dream?

We cannot bring back the 29 men we lost.They are with the Lord now.Our task, here on Earth, is to save lives from being lost in another such tragedy;to do what must do, individually and collectively, to assure safe conditions underground--(applause)--to treat our miners like they treat each other--like a family.(Applause.)Because we are all family and we are all Americans.(Applause.)And we have to lean on one another, and look out for one another, and love one another, and pray for one another.There’s a psalm that comes to mind today-– a psalm that comes to mind, a psalm we often turn to in times of heartache.“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me;your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”

God bless our miners.(Applause.)God bless their families.God bless West Virginia.(Applause.)And God bless the United States of America.(Applause.)

第五篇：美國總統(tǒng)奧巴馬名言

美國總統(tǒng)奧巴馬名言

在美國，創(chuàng)新不只改變我們的生活，更重要的是，這是我們賴以謀生的方法。如果我們想擁抱未來，如果我們想讓創(chuàng)新在美國而不是海外創(chuàng)造就業(yè)崗位，那么我們必須贏得教育我們孩子的競賽。

成功不是名氣或者公共關(guān)系所帶來的，它是由辛勞的工作和自律造就的。在這個十年結(jié)束的時候，美國將再度成為擁有大學(xué)生比例最高的國家。雖然我不確定我們將如何超越地平線到達(dá)更好的地方，但我知道我們將會到達(dá)那里。我知道我們能夠做到。

我知道你們的所做的一切并不只是為了贏得選舉，我也知道你們做這一切并不是為了我。你們這樣做是因為你們明白前面的任務(wù)有多么艱巨。即便我們今晚歡呼慶祝，我們也知道明天將面臨我們一生之中最艱難的挑戰(zhàn)——兩場戰(zhàn)爭、一個面臨危險的星球，一個世紀(jì)以來最嚴(yán)重的金融危機(jī)。

前方的道路將很漫長，我們攀登的腳步會很艱辛。

那些所有懷疑美國的燈塔能否能像以前一樣明亮的人們，今天晚上我們再次證明，我們國家真正的力量并非來自我們武器的威力或財富的規(guī)模，而是來自我們理想的持久力量：民主、自由、機(jī)會、不屈服的希望。

美國，我們已經(jīng)走過了一條漫漫長路。我們已經(jīng)歷了很多。但是我們?nèi)杂泻芏嗍虑橐?。因此今夜，請讓我們自?-如果我們的孩子能夠活到下個世紀(jì)；如果我的女兒有幸活得和安一樣長，她們將會看到怎樣的改變？我們將會取得什么樣的進(jìn)步？

現(xiàn)在是我們回答這個問題的機(jī)會。這是我們的時刻。

這是我們的時代--讓我們的人民重新就業(yè)，為我們的后代敞開機(jī)會之門，恢復(fù)繁榮，推進(jìn)和平，重新確立“美國夢”，再次證明這樣一個基本的真理：我們是一家人；只要一息尚存，我們就有希望；當(dāng)我們遇到嘲諷和懷疑，當(dāng)有人說我們辦不到的時候，我們要以這個永恒的信條來回應(yīng)他們：是的，我們能做到。

迄今為止，已經(jīng)有44個美國總統(tǒng)宣誓就職?？偨y(tǒng)的宣誓有時面對的是國家的和平繁榮，但通常面臨的是烏云密布的緊張形勢。在緊張的形勢中，支持美國前進(jìn)的不僅僅是領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人的能力和遠(yuǎn)見，也在于美國人民對國家先驅(qū)者理想的信仰，以及對美國立國文件的忠誠。

前輩們?nèi)绱耍覀冞@一代美國人也要如此。

美國仍是一個年輕的國家，借用《圣經(jīng)》的話說，放棄幼稚的時代已經(jīng)到來 了。重拾堅韌精神的時代已經(jīng)到來，我們要為歷史作出更好的選擇，我們要秉承歷史賦予的寶貴權(quán)利，秉承那種代代相傳的高貴理念：上帝賦予我們每個人以平等和自由，以及每個人盡全力去追求幸福的機(jī)會。

在重申我們國家偉大之處的同時，我們深知偉大從來不是上天賜予的，偉大需要努力贏得。(我們的民族一路走來)，這旅途之中從未有過捷徑或者妥協(xié)，這旅途也不適合膽怯之人、或者愛安逸勝過愛工作之人、或者單單追求名利之人。這條路是勇于承擔(dān)風(fēng)險者之路，是實干家、創(chuàng)造者之路。這其中有一些人名留青史，但是更多的人卻在默默無聞地工作著。正是這些人帶領(lǐng)我們走過了漫長崎嶇的旅行，帶領(lǐng)我們走向富強(qiáng)和自由。

從今天開始，我們必須跌倒后爬起來，拍拍身上的泥土，重新開始工作，重塑美國。

現(xiàn)在，有一些人開始質(zhì)疑我們的野心是不是太大了，他們認(rèn)為我們的體制承載不了太多的宏偉計劃。他們是健忘了。他們已經(jīng)忘了這個國家已經(jīng)取得的成就；他們已經(jīng)忘了當(dāng)創(chuàng)造力與共同目標(biāo)以及必要的勇氣結(jié)合起來時，自由的美國人民所能發(fā)揮的能量。

這些懷疑論者的錯誤在于，他們沒有意識到政治現(xiàn)實已經(jīng)發(fā)生了變化，長期以來耗掉我們太多精力的陳腐政治論爭已經(jīng)不再適用。今天，我們的問題不在于政府的大小，而在于政府能否起作用，政府能否幫助家庭找到薪水合適的工作、給他們可以負(fù)擔(dān)得起的醫(yī)療保障并讓他們體面地退休。哪個方案能給與肯定的答案，我們就推進(jìn)哪個方案。哪個方案的答案是否定的，我們就選擇終止。而掌管納稅人稅金的人應(yīng)當(dāng)承擔(dān)起責(zé)任，合理支出，摒棄陋習(xí)，磊落做事，這有這樣才能在政府和人民之間重建至關(guān)重要的相互信任。

我們面臨的問題也不是市場好壞的問題。市場創(chuàng)造財富、拓展自由的能力無可匹敵，但是這場危機(jī)提醒我們，如果沒有監(jiān)管，市場很可能就會失去控制，而且偏袒富人國家的繁榮無法持久。國家經(jīng)濟(jì)的成敗不僅僅取決于國內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值的大小，而且取決于繁榮的覆蓋面，取決于我們是否有能力讓所有有意愿的人都有機(jī)會走向富裕。我們這樣做不是慈善，而是因為這是確保實現(xiàn)共同利益的途徑。

我們面臨的挑戰(zhàn)也許是新的，我們應(yīng)對挑戰(zhàn)的措施也許也是新的，但那些長期以來指導(dǎo)我們成功的價值觀——勤奮、誠實、勇氣、公平競爭、包容以及對世界保持好奇心，還有對國家的忠誠和愛國主義——卻是歷久彌新，這些價值觀是可靠的。他們是創(chuàng)造美國歷史的無聲力量。我們現(xiàn)在需要的就是回歸這些古老的價值觀。我們需要一個新的負(fù)責(zé)任的時代，一個覺醒的時代，每個國人都應(yīng)意識到即我們對自己、對國家和世界負(fù)有責(zé)任，我們不應(yīng)該不情愿地接受這些責(zé)任，而應(yīng)該快樂地承擔(dān)起這些責(zé)任。我們應(yīng)該堅定這一認(rèn)識，即沒有什么比全身 心投入一項艱巨的工作更能鍛煉我們的性格，更能獲得精神上的滿足。

對中國的發(fā)展來說，“五年規(guī)劃”是量度中國步伐的路碑，也是記錄中國夢想的載體。

升華心態(tài)提升境界。有這樣一則故事：三個工人在砌墻，有人問他們在忙什么，第一個說：“我在砌墻”，第二個說：“我在建一幢大樓”，第三個回答：“我在建一座城市”。多年以后，第一個工人仍是工人，第二個工人成為工程師，第三個工人成為城市管理者。同一種工作，因為從事者的心態(tài)不同，結(jié)果迥異?！胺N瓜得瓜，種豆得豆”，不僅是一種自然規(guī)律，也是由良好心態(tài)、較高境界決定的。

成功在于堅持。有一個“一萬小時定律”，是說人在某一方面要想有所作為，要能堅持一萬個小時，相當(dāng)于每天練習(xí)近平3個小時，堅持10年。你能堅持嗎？堅持住了，你就會成為某一方面的專家?！肮胖纱笫抡撸晃┯谐乐?，亦必有堅韌不拔之志”，說的也是這個道理。

愛。的確，愛可以說是世界上最柔韌的力量，它讓人擁有一種純粹的執(zhí)著，喚醒人們一種無私的責(zé)任，更有著潤物無聲般的穿透力、春風(fēng)化雨般的感染力和百川歸海般的吸引力。人世間，有愛，就有力量，就有溫暖，就有和諧。
